I am a 20 year resident of the Lehigh Valley and bi­lingual (French). With the team at CENTURY 21 Keim Realtors, I'm here to assist you in the purchase or sale of a home, land, investment property or business in the Lehigh Valley Area, the Pocono Markets, and the surrounding Bucks, Montgomery, and Berks counties. Work Experience/Background: I have a varied career history! I spent my junior year abroad studying French in Orleans, France, and then later graduated with a BA in French from the University of Rhode Island. I worked for a year as a bilingual secretary for a French Canadian fraternal organization. Then, for the next several years, I had a very exciting career in corporate America with Dun & Bradstreet. I was promoted to various positions around the country and I was a two time Presidential Citation winner. I left D&B to earn my teaching certificate and pursue a career as a high school French teacher. I taught for a total of 10 years in the Allentown and East Penn school districts and I thoroughly enjoyed working and traveling with my students. Why I'm in Real Estate and the Persons Who Influenced Me: I have always loved real estate and been fascinated by it. I have also been around the industry for the last 20 years thanks to my husband and my late mother­in­law. She was successfully self employed and involved in real estate investment, renovation and management for many years. She had my husband knocking down sheet rock and helping to renovate various projects since he was 12 years old! Four years ago, my husband took over and expanded her business. I have helped flip investment properties, administer construction projects and manage rental properties. Both my husband's and my mother- in­law's dedication, professionalism and creativity have been an inspiration to me. Family Time: My husband and I have two sons (ages 10 and 16) and the four of us enjoy our family vacations, and attending the boys' sporting and boy scout events. We also love spending time with our family and friends and hosting summer pool parties in our backyard. Life Long Dream: To own a house in France! My motto(s): Be a life­long learner and treat everyone fairly.
