Fisher Phillips recently moved offices into The Main Las Olas, which provides us a space at the core of Fort Lauderdale’s business, legal and social communities and positions us to attract talent at all levels, including partners, associates and staff. We are growing and are so lucky to have the Riverwalk as an extension of our office. Our team greatly benefits from the active and vibrant community and space the Riverwalk provides each and every day.

My husband and I live on the New River and Riverwalk where I get to walk to work every day and enjoy the incredible community supported by the Riverwalk organization. We have been welcomed with open arms by so many in the business community – especially the Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce and the Florida Design and Construction Professionals group – and I am excited to make more connections with those in our wonderful community who make the Riverwalk such a great place to live, work and play.

Personally, I have been married for 25 years and we have two sons. We spent much time at the Museum of Discovery and Science and the Broward Center for the Performing Arts when they were younger. We still spend a lot of time around the Riverwalk today.

Professionally, I specialize in site redevelopment and land entitlement permit application processing, collaborating closely with property owners and diverse professionals, including land use attorneys, architects, landscape architects, engineers, traffic consultants, surveyors and City representatives. I have been involved in projects Downtown, the beach and surrounding areas. A few of my favorite projects include the new Baptist Health Iceplex at Holiday Park, the Inter Miami CF Stadium and many of the projects that make up Flagler Village.

I enjoy meeting new people, which is why I joined Riverwalk. Many of my business referrals come from people seeing our banner on the Riverwalk outside The Downtowner and Stranahan House, coincidentally next to where my high school job used to be and steps away from our office on Las Olas Boulevard. I’m proud to be part of this community.

After I had my son, I would push him in his stroller along the Riverwalk every day, and it became one of my favorite daily habits. I wanted to become a member because of the Riverwalk’s meaning to me.

I helped found and oversee the Governor’s Initiative on Lawyers Assisting Warriors within Holland & Knight, which means that we provide pro bono legal services to active duty service members and veterans in Florida. It is rewarding when they call holding back tears of gratitude for our help in their legal matters. Whether they are going through a divorce, landlord/tenant issue or facing another matter, we can provide legal representation to service members and veterans in Florida on a wide range of issues.

Originally from the Boston area and a resident of Palm Beach, for over 32 years, I am deeply invested in the South Florida community. I balance family life with a passion for helping others succeed — whether it’s achieving homeownership or developing a thriving investment portfolio.

My process begins with qualifying clients for a mortgage while providing a clear breakdown of costs involved in buying a home and available options they can choose from. This personalized approach ensures clients feel confident and well-informed as they move through the financing journey. Networking is a cornerstone of my marketing strategy, ensuring a steady flow of new clients who benefit from personalized and strategic mortgage solutions. 

When not working with clients, I enjoy the sunny South Florida weather, exploring Fort Lauderdale’s vibrant culture, and supporting the Riverwalk community.  I have been a Trustee member with Riverwalk since 2018 and can usually be found volunteering at many of the events in Fort Lauderdale. 

Over the years, I have been involved in many legal, charitable and community organizations. I joined Riverwalk to support Fort Lauderdale and the Las Olas area. Fort Lauderdale has so much to offer from a fantastic selection of restaurants, cultural events, the always scenic Riverwalk and our beautiful beaches! We get to live where others vacation! I am very proud to be part of Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale and to contribute to Downtown Fort Lauderdale’s continued growth. I look forward to continuing my membership for years to come!

With 30 years in the travel industry, I can help you plan your vacation down to the details. Whether it is a dream vacation, corporate retreat or destination wedding, I enjoy listening to my client’s needs and ensuring their plans suit their preferences and goals. You work hard, but regardless of how your vacation goes, you will take home those memories, so it’s important to customize your plan to your needs and tastes.

I understand the concerns of travelers, from planning an itinerary to learning what to do if you get lost in your destination city. In addition to my personal experiences as a traveler, I can rely on Landmark’s Consortium, a network of information and travel experts.

I am making volunteering a priority in my life, and joining Riverwalk was a step in that direction. I enjoy going to events in Esplanade Park, and I am eager to get to know the other members within the Riverwalk community.

With more than three decades of experience in the financial industry, I’ve not only witnessed but actively contributed to Fort Lauderdale’s transformation into a dynamic hub for business and culture. Through Las Olas Capital Advisors, I’m dedicated to providing innovative, personalized financial solutions that help individuals, families and businesses thrive.

Joining Riverwalk was a natural choice for me, as it allows me to support the ongoing development of our downtown community, which has always been at the heart of my work. I’m proud to be part of an organization that’s committed to fostering connections and enhancing the quality of life in Fort Lauderdale.

The Riverwalk offers a perfect blend of business opportunities, leisure and natural beauty, making it an ideal space for both personal and professional growth. I look forward to continuing my involvement with Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale and contributing to the thriving community we’re building together.
