With 24 years of service at First Service, I take pride in my achievements and the company’s role in supporting my career journey. Here’s a look into how my path with First Service began:
My roots were deeply embedded in a community-centric upbringing. Born and raised in Panama City, Florida, my educational journey began and continued in my hometown, eventually leading me to Gulf Coast Community College. In 1987, I embarked on a transformative chapter of my life by moving to Virginia Beach, Virginia after marrying a Navy sailor. This period marked the beginning of numerous challenges and opportunities for growth in my roles as a woman, mother, and employee. After experiencing life in various states due to military-related relocations, my journey led me back to Panama City in 2000. These experiences across different locations strengthened my resilience and adaptability. Read more

My career journey began 7/9/1990 as the assistant manager at College Arms.
I started with no experience at all in property management, and really didn’t have a clue what it was. Carolyn Whitehead trained me, and I believe she had a plan in place when she hired me. 1998 she decided to retire and informed me I was going to be the manager. She knew I could do it and she was right. Read more
