I've lived on the North Shore for over 40 years, moving here from England when I was only just a teenager. My dad told us we were moving to the best place on earth. He was right!
After high school I fell into the Insurance Industry, starting in a fun role meeting people all day, running a territory on commission. Over the years, I progressed to personal insurance through to large commercial insurance at the largest brokerage in the world. The last ten years spent servicing the C-Suites of multi-million dollar revenue mining companies. My experience with contracts and excellence in client service was honed there.
All the while, working part-time after my daughter was born, I was able to help my husband with his business and my sister-in-law marketing her skin care brand. These endeavours gave me the entrepreneurial and creative outlet I was missing in my Insurance career.
When my daughter was preparing to head to University, I knew it was my time. Inspired by her, I decided that I would be in a new career by my 50th Birthday. Real Estate had always been in the back of my mind and I knew that my experience in business would prove to be a huge asset.
In 2015, completed my commitment to myself and I found my home at Macdonald Realty, where I have thrived ever since. Helping my clients reach their goals and move their lives forward is my passion and I love my work.
When I'm not working I volunteer with Mom2mom, a charity that improves the lives of children living in poverty by supporting their moms. I'm also a bit of a tennis fanatic!
