I am an accomplished artist, small business owner, gardener (when I have the time), passionate about historic preservation and obsessed with real estate. In 1998 the lure of lush green landscapes and the friendly people led me to leave a successful career in the Los Angeles advertising industry for a new home in Middle Tennessee. For a few years I continued to work in advertising before being selected to lead a Nashville non-profit for several years. My husband and I started our own marketing firm which we operate along with a fine art gallery in a historic building that we renovated in downtown Columbia. I am actively involved in the community and serve as Chair for the City of Columbia Historic Zoning Commission.
