Why you feel this person deserves this award.I may not always be the loudest person in the room, but I am proud to be someone who shows up, does the work, and leads from behind the scenes—supporting others, including everyone, and making sure the job gets done. Loyalty, consistency, and service are at the heart of everything I do.
I currently serve as the Regional Board Vice Chair for the Treasure Coast, Vice Chair for Community Outreach, and actively contribute to the Government Affairs, RPAC, and Grievance Committees. I also proudly serve on six Florida Realtors® committees, including the Convention Committee, which I love being part of—it gives me the opportunity to connect with REALTORS® across the state and help bring meaningful events to life.
In my community, I serve as Vice President of my HOA, as well as on the Social Committee, where I work to build connection and engagement among neighbors. For the past four years, I’ve helped lead crews for Habitat for Humanity, and every time I put on a hard hat, I’m reminded how important it is to give back and be of service in tangible ways.
Professionally, I wear a few hats—I’m a dedicated REALTOR®, and I also own two small businesses. While I juggle a lot, I’m always willing to lend a hand to friends, family, or colleagues who need support or guidance. Whether it’s jumping in to help a fellow member, offering advice, or just being a steady presence, I take pride in being someone others can count on.
Outside of work, I host a private book club, which has become a treasured space for connection, friendship, and great conversation. It’s one more way I enjoy building community in both big and small ways.
Being of service and making an impact has never been about recognition—it's about heart, commitment, and the belief that what we do together truly matters. I’m honored to be considered for the Community Impact Award, and I look forward to continuing to serve wherever I’m needed most.
