Personal Background

I was born and raised in the Bronx, New York. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Journalism in 1978, with a graduating GPA of 4.1.

I worked and lived on my own for 25 years in Dobbs Ferry where I owned my townhouse. I met my husband, Nick and moved to Bedford Hills where we raise our wonderful teenager, Nick Jr. Nick Jr. attends Fox Lane High School. We have a beautiful home that was sold to us by Coldwell Banker's amazing Joyce Espy. After staying home to raise my son until kindergarten, I became an Instructional Assistant at West Patent Elementary School. I support classroom teachers from kindergarten to fifth grade; either reteaching or assisting a live lesson. With a ten month job, I became restless so I received my real estate license!

We have two dogs; a beagle and a rescued lab. I enjoy travel, cooking and reading.

Business Philosophy

I believe in business, as in life, one must be fair, tolerant and most of all kind. Most of my success stemmed from my willingness to learn from others. I have always been a successful salesperson because I am honest and true to my values. I enjoy working with people and meeting their needs with reliable service.
