My unique history has given me a vast knowledge about many aspects of our community which
has allowed me to represent my real estate customers well! I have been a
successful, experienced Realtor for 8+ years. I look forward to putting my
experiences to work for YOU!!
I married my high school sweetheart, Mike, over 54 years ago. We have one daughter, 4
grandchildren, and 1 great-grandson, who all live near us! Mike and I have a
sweet jack Russell Terrier and a talkative African Gray parrot.
We have lived in Ocala since 1972. Living in Ocala/ Marion County for over 50 years has given
me the opportunity to see our community grow in population to over 400,000
today. What makes my perspective unique is that my husband was an Ocala City
Councilman for 16 years, followed by 4 years as a Marion County Commissioner.
During that time we owned and operated a sign business (for 36 years), which
drew directly from growth and change. Because of all this, I've always been
very aware of what was going on in the community and have played a part in many
community service projects. I've stayed current with local economic
development, the growth of our fabulous medical community, and the
transformation of commercial, industrial and residential development. I remain
knowledgeable about improvements to our infrastructure to meet the community's
growing needs. Through our years in the sign business, I had many opportunities
to represent customers before the Board of Adjustment, the Planning and Zoning
Commission, and the Ocala Historic Preservation Advisory Board. As a sign
professional, I served on committees to address needed code changes. I spent
years as a volunteer at Project Hope (a transitional housing program for
homeless women with children), was on the Board of Directors at ARC Marion for
23 years (serving as president for 2 years), volunteered for fund raising
projects to raise money for the Humane Society of Marion County and the Marion
Cultural Alliance, and participated in every "Santa's Holiday on Ice"
Christmas Party that was put on 6 years in a row for the homeless and
disadvantaged children in our community - just to name a few. I am currently a
proud member of the Ocala Silver Springs Rotary Club to continue to give back
to my community. I am a grateful partner at Church of Hope.
