I am technically a “come here” because our family moved to the Eastern Shore of Virginia when I was 4 years old. I grew up on a working horse farm on Nassawadox Creek where my parents raised Arabian horses for most of my younger years. My childhood was spent making forts on the farm, crabbing off the dock and playing sports. When I am not working, you can find me at the ballfield with one of my three sons, spending time with my sisters and parents, in the midst of floral creations at my shop in Onancock, or playing golf with my husband at the Eastern Shore Yacht & Country Club. My passion is building relationships and in all of my various jobs over the years, it has made me an expert in people and markets. With my background in customer service and desire to make people happy it was the building block in the decision to pursue real estate. Whether it is a first time home buyer, a growing family in need of an upgrade or a recent retiree looking to downsize, I look forward to making the process exciting and seamless.

By Stefanie Jackson Photos by Jim Ritch The Cape Charles concrete plant has come under scrutiny for its im- pact on the quality of life of town residents, and Coastal Precast Systems, which has owned and operated the decades-old plant since 2019, recently responded in writing to citizens’ concerns. Public comments heard at the Cape Charles Planning Commission’s Feb. 2 meeting gave voice to concerns about “unacceptable dust and debris” and noise, which create a “threatening health environment” and diminish the outdoor experiences of residents and visitors alike. But Coastal Precast Systems is committed to “helping to keep Cape Charles a beautiful and true working harbor town,” the company said in a Feb. 10 press release.
