From candy striper to paramedic, from estate expert to End of Life Doula — this is a fundraiser rooted in service.

At just 12 years old, I began volunteering. I was a candy striper in high school, led our school's United Way and Battered Women’s Shelter programs, and never stopped showing up when someone needed help.

I went on to spend 12 years as a paramedic, witnessing up close the quiet crises that families face — illness, grief, transition, and survival. That training shaped how I approach everything: calm, compassionate, and committed.

In 2007, I founded my estate sale company after realizing the industry lacked the dignity, empathy, and organization families deserved. I saw card tables and chaos. I envisioned something better — something beautiful. And we built it.

Since then, I’ve grown a respected business in an unregulated industry, become a founding member of the National Estate Sale Association, and earned my Appraiser’s Certificate from NYU. I’ve trained my team, traveled to 22 states studying best practices, and helped over 1,400 families navigate transitions — not just with logistics, but with love.

In 2024, I experienced permanent vision loss in one eye after 5 surgeries. It was traumatic, yes — but it also deepened my purpose. As I lay face down after surgery, I asked: What else can I do to serve? The answer was clear.

Now, I want to complete my Move Management Certification / Aging in Place and begin training as a Death Doula, guiding families through the deeply emotional moments that often come with aging and loss. Whether it’s downsizing a home, honoring last wishes, or clearing a room filled with a lifetime of memories — I want to be there.
