What do you like to do on your free time?

One of my absolute favorite ways to spend my free time is being by the water, whether it's a lake, river or ocean shore. There's something incredibly calming about the sound of waves and the fresh breeze on my skin. To make it even better, I love sipping on a creamy mudslide - for a little indulgence. As the sun sets and evening settles in, there's nothing better than gathering with friends for a few rounds of cards. The laughter, friendly competition, and shared moments make it a perfect way to spend my free time. 

What is your favorite food/restaurant?

One of my favorite meals is the Alice Springs Chicken from Outback Steakhouse. The combination of juicy grilled chicken, crispy bacon, melted cheese, and that savory honey mustard sauce is absolutely perfect—it’s comfort food with a flavorful twist. Honestly, if they put that honey mustard sauce on other foods, I might end up liking those just as much… maybe even more! I also really enjoy dining at Sullivan’s Steakhouse, their ribeye steak is always cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and rich. Whether I’m in the mood for something hearty or something indulgent, those two spots always hit the mark.

What is your greatest achievement?

One of my greatest professional achievements was successfully managing multiple multi-million construction and real estate projects from start to finish, ensuring they were completed on time, within budget, and to a high standard of quality. These projects involved coordinating with contractors, vendors, and clients, often navigating unexpected challenges along the way. What makes this achievement meaningful to me is not just the end results, but the leadership, organization, and problem-solving it required. It reinforced my ability to adapt, communicate clearly, and stay focused on the bigger picture—all skills I continue to carry into every project I take on.

What do you like to do on your free time?

I am a huge Red Sox fan, so I like to spend my time watching them play and visiting Fenway as much as possible.

What is your favorite food/restaurant?

My favorite food is Crab Rangoon, and my favorite restaurant is Cava in Portsmouth NH. They have an excellent menu that changes with the seasons.

What is your greatest achievement?

My greatest professional achievement is when I was able to become Store Manager at Sherwin Williams with only a year experience at the company.

What do you like to do on your free time?

In my free time, I love playing pickleball, embroidering/beading, and spending time with my nieces and nephews. Having played tennis for 13 years until I went to college, I have found pickleball to be a great and easy alternative for the sport, also allowing me to also spend time with some of my closest friends. Additionally, I love being creative and grew up sewing and beading with my mom and when I saw some of these activities go viral on TikTok, I got back into it, exploring different creative outlets. Lastly, I became an aunt at 14 (as I have two older half-sisters), and it’s been the greatest gift life has given me. Today, I have six nieces and nephews and there’s never a dull moment hanging out with them.

What is your favorite food/restaurant?

I would say my favorite food is sushi because I love the freshness and combination of textures. My favorite spot to get it is Kazumi which is a small restaurant located in Key Biscayne. Offering more unique rolls with a strange but delicious combination of flavors, my favorite is one that has a truffle yuzu sauce on it.

What is your greatest achievement?

I would say my greatest professional achievement was acquiring a placement in Forbes for one of our real estate clients at my last job. Working with real estate journalists has become increasingly difficult over the years as they are mainly interested in the key milestones of the real estate development process. As a result, I had to find a unique angle to come to the reporter with and was able to acquire Arbor Residences a placement in Forbes in November of 2024.
