My childhood was spent 40 miles down-river in Chesapeake, Ohio. In the early 1980s, I moved to Gallipolis and now consider it my hometown. My father was a real estate agent and instructor, so I guess you could say the business is in my blood.
I pursued a career in nursing, and as a graduate of Marshall University, I was employed full-time as an RN at Pleasant Valley Hospital in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. But, after nearly 30 years, I found myself bored in retirement. Many hours of watching HGTV caused me to realize that I should try my hand at real estate. I attended Hondros College to obtain my license.
After joining the team at Wiseman Real Estate, I soon discovered that the profession is nothing like the TV version (LOL). But, while very challenging, it is also very rewarding. Skills used in nursing, such as communication and attention to detail, are put to good use in the business of real estate. I thoroughly enjoy meeting and interacting with people, as well as the pursuit of a deal that brings my clients to the closing table.
My husband, Dan, also works at Wiseman. We have three children and four grandchildren, all of whom reside in Gallipolis. Much of my free time is spent with them.
Areas served include Gallia, Meigs and Jackson Counties.
