Jessica loves driving around Vermont, meeting new people, discovering unique characteristics about each property and feeling the distinct neighborhood vibes. She has lived in a dozen towns throughout Northern and Central Vermont. She has also spent a lot of time in Southern Vermont visiting family and friends. There are so many unique businesses hidden in the mountains and valleys that are fun to visit, hiking trails to explore, clean lakes and rivers to swim, fish, and boat, scenic areas to ride bikes, wildlife to view, beautiful natural areas with a variety of plants and flowers to see and photograph, that it is hard to run out of things to do. She also enjoys skiing with my children, gardening, and creating artwork.
Prior to entering college, she wore many types of hats trying different career paths and meeting people from all walks of life. She was always curious to learn what made other people tick. She decided she did not want to leave Vermont and ended up earning her Marketing Management Degree at Champlain College along with landing on the Dean’s List. She did my internship at Merrill Lynch cold-calling customers to encourage retirement savings along with other financial projects. Upon graduation she started my career at Hampton Direct, Inc. She was their first employee and gained experience in all areas of the business including accounting, purchasing, shipping & receiving international and domestic goods, human resources, marketing, and sales. She also communicated with businesses throughout Asia, Europe, and Canada. The majority and final years were primarily focused on sales to mail order, As Seen On TV, internet, retail, and wholesale customers throughout the country. Product development and facilitating communication flow between departments was also part of her focus.
Ever since she purchased her first home in Shelburne back in 1999, she has been looking at properties throughout Vermont and she just can’t stop. She would find myself surfing the internet, flipping through real estate magazines and newspapers, discovering good values, gauging the market, and guessing which homes were going to be sold first even though she was happy with the house and condo she already owned. When she decided to start a new career, after taking time off following the birth of her children, it just made sense to do something she was passionate about. She now lives in Mendon with her husband, kids, and pets in their little house on top of the hill with a beautiful view. Her family says she’s a real estate nerd and she’s ok with that.
