I’m a New England girl through and through. I love the grit and passion of our people, especially when it comes to family and sports. I love our four seasons, experiencing the weather change and how each one hits all the senses differently, it makes me feel alive! I was born and raised in Worcester, went to Flagg St. School & Doherty, a stint at Becker and then moved around a bit. I always knew I’d end up back in this City. While living in south Florida, I had an itch for change, and I happened upon a website called findyourspot.com. They ask you a series of questions to determine where you should live, Worcester was one of the top 3! Needless to say, I came home! I am a dog mum to two Goldendoodles and Super Auntie to three of the coolest cats (kiddos) around, who love my pups as much as I do!
As I went through this questionnaire myself, I realized my answers aren’t as specific as many of our other FACES. At first I thought “man, I better come up with more interesting answers!”. Then I took my own advice, “Get some fresh air with a view” and realized that that’s why I love this project so much. There isn’t one “most interesting person” or only one who “inspires me to be better”. Each one of us offers something special to another, even strangers can inspire.
Please tell us about your current career and what you love most about what you do?
I am a Realtor and Ambassador of this super cool project, The Faces of Worcester, you may have heard of it?! 🙂 The decisions and process that goes into changing your home evokes many emotions. It is a privilege to guide my clients as they make some of the biggest decisions of their lives.
What is your favorite restaurant in Worcester, and what is your favorite dish?
This is such a tough question, who chose this?! 🙂 Too many to choose; each one is my favorite depending on my mood. I love the Ivory Tusk from Flying Rhino (in a wrap to justify choosing the truffle fries over broccoli slaw, which is equally amazing, but never my default), Shrimp Cocktail, rolls and whatever is in season at The Sole, Godzilla Roll at Baba Sushi, Hawaiian Buffalo Chicken Pizza at Blue Jeans, Hot Dog Annies! (I know not in Worcester, but the drive through the “country”, is part of the charm). I could go on, but I’m running out of room!
Who is the most interesting person you’ve ever met?
