WELCOME!

I'm happy you're here. 

I believe wholeheartedly that all of us deserve a home that's as happy as it can be.

I hope for the opportunity to provide that for you with our support and services.

A long story leading up to the vision of Home is where Happy Lives:

 

It all started way back when in I was in high school (I won't tell you how many years ago that was). I completed an independent study with The Victorian Order of Nurses, which ignited a drive to connect with and support seniors.  I went on to complete Gerontology and Environmental Design studies at Metropolitan Toronto University. These studies focus on the physical and social challenges we face as we age and how to recognize and correct the shortfalls in our physical environments. 

 

I wanted to work in a practical capacity so I became a certified Health Care Aide in 1985 and completed my Interior Design Certification in 1994 because I believed (still do) that Interior Design is a very interesting and practical partner to Environmental Design.  I worked both in senior care and in teaching hospitals for several years until a pivot became necessary.  So I became a real estate agent in 2021, receiving a Royal LePage Achievement Award in 2022.

 

So there you have it – the rather long road to the present – the vision of supporting seniors in their home with support and/or space and design services, and providing professional and caring real estate support when the decision is made to relocate.
