Personal Background I am the third generation of my family to live and work in Hunterdon County. I attended local public schools and I am an alumni of Hunterdon Central High School. I went on to attend Kean University in Union NJ, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Management. I have also attend Rutgers University where I have earned credit towards a Masters Degree in Labor Relations and Collective Bargaining.
During the summer of my senior year in college I was able to work for Hunterdon County which led to a full time position working for the state of New Jersey helping to administer a jobs program. It was a great opportunity to meet the county personnel and to learn the inner workings of our local government.
I made a decision to change my career and had the opportunity to become a marketing representative for a food broker in the grocery industry. This eventually led to a Regional Managers position with the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of New York ,where I covered the central New Jersey territory.
A few years later I began working for a large automotive group in Hunterdon County. I began as a Sales Representative, was elevated to Finance Manager, then to Sales Manager and eventually promoted as the General Manager of a new car franchise. In the automotive industry I have also worked with a credit union acting as an advocate and a liaison to their members helping them to purchase new and used automobiles.
I have been a Licensed Relator since 2005 and a Representative of Coldwell Banker since 2012.
I have a large referral network of friends and family. I am familiar with Central New Jersey and expert in communities in Hunterdon, Somerset and Warren Counties. If given the opportunity you will be pleased. I will take excellent care of you, your family and all of your real estate needs.
