In my role as “the family historian”, early on I developed a passion for preserving and displaying my family’s (and later friends’) photos, video and film. I started Your Memories At Hand© in 2011 first of all, to help individuals, families and communities get their media in shape: what I call D.O.R.P.S: Digitize, Organize, Restore, Preserve & Share, and secondly, to help these folks tell their stories.

A little about my background: I spent 15+ years in real estate as a practitioner, broker and team manager culminating with the founding of  the Accredited Consultant in Real Estate® (ACRE) Course and Coaching program, an innovative training program for real estate professionals that focused on providing services and getting paid from a consultative model. I’m the author of two real estate books and a co-author of a third.

On a personal note, I’m truly multi-geographic, having been born in Florida (of Boston-bred parents) and raised in Texas. I attended school in Florida, Pennsylvania, and Mississippi before coming to the Boston area in 1979. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communications from the University of Southern Mississippi and a Master of Business Administration with a concentration in marketing from Northeastern University in Boston.

I live with my husband Steve in Framingham, MA. We have two sons, Jeff and Dan, daughter-in-law Anna, granddaughter April, grandson Gavin and a very cute dog named Brewster.
