A little bit about me

I choose to live in a small town with a long memory, organic values and front porch connections.  I call PT the “new” New England: a small Victorian seaport laid out with predominantly unpretentious homes outlined by blue water, forest, farmland and mountains. Here we are connected by our gardens and community fervor - for boats, for the arts, for the environment and one another.

Since emigrating to the Northwest, I’ve  become involved with the Food Bank and the Jefferson County Master Gardeners.  My youngest daughter is a graduate of the Northwest School for Wooden Boats and my granddaughter is a student at Port Townsend High School.  Our mutts, Raggs and Tuff, lead regular hikes at Fort Worden and the Larry Scott Trail.

A former teacher, my real estate career began in 1990 in Concord, MA.  I have had the privilege of assisting wonderful clients find a sense of place in various settings: historic districts, waterfront, senior living communities.  I have adopted the motto: “People don’t find homes; homes find people.”
