To date, my career has evolved in two countries: ten states, two provinces and one island, as a result of multiple relocations undertaken for family & educational priorities. 

 

Each move has allowed me to continue to do what I do best: create and prescribe strategic and thoughtful solutions for individuals, families, corporations & non-profits.

 

For the last several years I've combined my design, real estate, special needs, education and leadership experiences into an exciting venture focused on identifying home improvement strategies to preserve autonomy and independence for those who want to remain at home as they age aka 'Age at Home' and 'Aging-in-Place'.
