"You treat people so many good ways they are bound to like one."

This motto, first said to me decades ago by a distant relative, has shaped me both personally and professionally. After more than forty years in the retail and hospitality industries, I retired last December to focus my attention on my expanding family. I am a wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, and I am fortunate to have the majority of my family living close by on Whidbey Island.

As a lifelong native to the breathtaking Pacific Northwest, I fully enjoy Washington state and all of the beauty it has to offer. Our temperate climate allows for a variety of year-around activities, such as hiking, boating, and skiing. In my spare time, I also enjoy crafting and meeting new people over a delicious cup of coffee.
