I was born in the Philadelphia area. Most of my adolescence and adult life has
been spent on the Newtown Square and Berwyn area, namely the Main Line. For 25
years, I was a "domestic engineer", and enjoyed being the mother to a daughter,
Kendra, and a son, Kenneth, Jr.
My life has been shaped by some unusual experiences. While going through a
divorce and completing my second year of college, my daughter was diagnosed with
Chronic Granulocytic Leukemia in 1993. She received a bone marrow transplant at
Stanford University. I was her primary care giver, which covered 24 hours a day for a
1 1/2 years. Despite all of our efforts and prayers, my daughter, age 25, died in June
1994. This experience has instilled in me an immense compassion and an
understanding for the stress and changes people encounter. I transformed this
negative life experience into a positive one by joining the marrow recruitment
efforts of the National Marrow Donor Program.
From Fall 1995 until Spring 1997, I was Philadelphia Director and Coordinator for
HLA Registry Foundation. I single handedly orchestrated over 27 bone marrow donor
drives, which enrolled 2,932 donors into the National Marrow Donor Program, I am very
proud that I could give back to a community of people that were there to help my
daughter and me.
During this donor recruitment period, I continued my business degree program and
graduated from Eastern University, St. Davids, PA in 1996. Plus simultaneously, I became
an investor at the New Jersey Shore with two partners. It was natural for me to become
educated in real estate since I am part owner of several properties.
I am a focused person, well organized, and a self-starter. I decided to enter the Real
Estate profession to use my skills to help buyers and sellers achieve their goals in
accomplishing "the move" that is definitely in the pursuit of happiness. I look for the
good in all situations, and hopefully, am a positive influence. To reiterate but not lessen,
seeking to make a difference, small or large, is life's mission. I am all for it!
It is important for me to demonstrate the gift of helping one another
and successfully achieve acquiring the place we choose to be.
