A lifelong resident of Philadelphia, Amy knows the Philadelphia area inside and out. She is happy to share her knowledge with her clients of the richness and diversity of Philadelphia’s neighborhoods – from Center City to the surrounding areas and the suburbs. Amy’s enthusiasm for life in Philadelphia, fueled by her ability to recount customs and history, has earned her many happy clients and friends. Amy’s goal is to develop long-lasting relationships with her clients by working to meet their short-term needs and long-term financial goals.

After graduating from Cheltenham High School Amy went on to earn her BA from the University of Pennsylvania. Before embarking on a career in real estate fifteen years ago, she worked in international public relations, advertising, and marketing in the pharmaceutical industry. Her background is a perfect fit for today’s competitive market. Over the years, Amy has given back to Philadelphia through participation in community and civic organizations. She served on the board of Queen Village Neighbors Association for six years and served on the Queen Village Zoning Committee for eight years. In addition, Amy was on the board of the Geographical Society of Philadelphia and served on the Pier 5 Condominium board for five years. She is currently president of the Fulton Mews Condominium Association.

Amy’s interests include travel, reading, cooking and entertaining, and of course, her dog, Spud. She speaks terrible French and even worse German.
