Exercise should support what we need, love and dream about doing for the rest of our lives. Whatever their motivation and goals, we customize our client’s fitness goals at our newly renovated space overlooking the Middle River.

I attribute much of my professional success to exercise. After college graduation, I became serious about fitness to reduce stress and give me the energy to work in corporate America for the next 35 years. Anytime I traveled for work, which was extensive, I always stayed in hotels with a fitness facility. As I have evolved, fitness and eating well have always remained important. I just kept going and let nothing stand in my way, even after I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2009.

It is never too late or too soon to start your fitness journey. Through exercise, we can live longer and live better.

We have a beautiful 2,700-square foot facility, with brand new state-of-art equipment, so come check us out.

We joined Riverwalk because, as a destination where you can live, work and play, it matches our values by encouraging people to be active.

The second Riverwalk Power Mixer of 2024 was held at Here & Now in Flagler Village on June 24. Riverwalk Trustee members and Corporate Partners gathered for conversation and were treated to an exquisite spread of hors d’oeuvres in this pocket of Flagler, nestled up against the up and coming FATVillage neighborhood.

*Here & Now changed their name to Laudy Bar shortly after this event. Same great owner/operator, updated menu and concept.

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.
