I was born in Dorchester, MA but moved to Southern Maine at the age of 4. I did very well in school participating in the Gifted and Talented program through school and went on to college at the University of Maine at Farmington, finishing up at the University of Southern Maine in 2001, graduating with a Bachelor of Art in Media Studies with a concentration in Journalism. After working in the journalism field briefly, I moved on to sales for Time Warner Cable, later entered the mortgage industry spent 5 years as a top producer. In 2009 while pregnant with my son, I went to The Real Estate Learning Group and began my career in Real Estate in 2010. Real Estate is a great fit as I have worked in customer service in one aspect or another for over 20 years, since my sophomore year in High School. By the fall of 2011, I have put several pieces of real estate under contract, worked with many buyers, including experience on both sides of short sale transactions. I contribute my instant success to excellent customer service and networking. Though new to the Real Estate business, I have trained and worked closely with Donna Roberts of Your Real Estate Co. who has been in the business for 25 years. I currently reside in Saco with my husband, Mike Paul and our three children, Makaila, Mya, and Madix.

"I love working in Real Estate. I especially love helping buyers find a new home. I love meeting with a buyer and getting exactly what they are looking for and finding them that perfect home or investment property.

Being the FULL time mommy to three beautiful children has proven to be the most rewarding job I've held. I love watching them all grow and see their interests blossom. We are a very close family of 5 and strive to do as many things together as we can. We are lucky to raise our family in the same city both my husband and I grew up in... We love to give back to the community whenever we can. Annually, we throw a Ride and Rock fundraiser that helps the local food pantry as well as another organization that gives school clothes and supplies to area kids in need. I have a big, outgoing, loving family that I love to get together with as often as possible as well as many friends i've met in my journey so far. It's amazing that new people can come into your life when you least expect it. It's never too late to make new friends in life. Life is short- my goal is to live it to the fullest but to always have balance. Work hard, play hard, and love hard"
