Melanie is a life-long Connecticut resident who, after falling in love with West Hill Lake, moved to Barkhamsted in 2012. She has her associates degree from Tunxis Community College and has worked in customer service her entire life. After growing up with a REALTOR® father, and helping several friends and family buy their homes with success, Melanie decided to continue her family tradition by pursuing a career in Real Estate. When not working, Melanie likes to spend time with her husband canoeing, kayaking, paddle-boarding, walking her dogs, and enjoying the lake community. She considers Real Estate the ideal profession to combine her love of architecture, and her desire to help people. She feels that buying or selling a home should be a fun and rewarding endeavor and does her best to take the stress out of the experience for her clients.
