My family has called Port Ludlow home since 2016, and what we’ve enjoyed most about living here is the community. I’m originally from Maine and hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Southern Maine. My early working years were spent in Florida for the Department of Labor, Department of Revenue, and later for Indian River County School District as a sign language interpreter. Before working as a sign language interpreter, I became involved in the Deaf Service Center of the Treasure Coast as a volunteer and board member. During that same time, I became a licensed real estate agent in Florida. My husband and I transitioned to Colorado, and I continued both real estate and interpreting for the deaf. I served on the Colorado Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf’s board and was a licensed real estate broker in Colorado. Since moving to Washington, I’ve volunteered with Tacoma Youth Chorus, Port Gamble Theater, Poulsbo Piranhas, and Ludlow Village Players. I’m proud of my real estate work, I’ve sold over $46 million dollars in property working with both buyers and sellers in Washington and hold a managing broker license here. I continue to work full-time selling homes. My husband and I are very proud of the daughter we've raised, and we are fortunate to call Port Ludlow home.
