I have lived in the central Florida area since 1994; I moved here after graduating from the University of Maryland because I was seeking sunshine and sand. While enjoying the weather, I managed to earn a graduate degree from Rollins College, and went on to get another degree from the University of South Florida in Tampa. I have worked as a bartender, a patient care specialist for hospice, an archivist and writing consultant at Rollins, and now I am embarking on my new journey in commercial real estate.
