I moved to Scottsdale, AZ in 1996 and have lived in AZ since then except for two years when I lived on Maui. In a serious relationship with Tom Garland MD (Class of '70).. Tom is moving to Prescott on 4/24/21 to start his new position as Medical Director over 7 Nursing Home facilities in N Arizona. I really enjoy our 4 Seasons that Prescott, AZ offers. I love music, my 3 rescue dogs and I enjoy being active and happy in life. I am in excellent health and hope to live at least another 20 years. I have had my AZ real estate license for over 23 years so anyone considering a move to the Phoenix or Prescott area, please contact me so that I can help you with your possible move to AZ. While working real estate in the Phoenix area, I did 24 fix and flips and two Trustee Sale properties so I have loads of experience with remodels. My real estate license is currently with Realty One Group Mountain Desert in Prescott, AZ. Prescott is an absolutely gorgeous place to live so please do yourself a favor and come take a look!

We were there for nearly 10 years and then moved to North Carolina for 8 years...first to Gastonia and then to Matthews, a Charlotte suburb. While living in North Carolina, I worked for Dunhill.

I did this from my home while my kids were young.
