When she's not helping clients...
Heather loves to travel
Heather spent almost two decades living and working in Taiwan, Japan, and China after her and her husband received an opportunity to move across the world to assist in overseeing the design and construction of a multi-million-dollar office and manufacturing facility.
While overseas, she studied to receive her Master Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language, and had the wonderful opportunity to teach adults English. Heather can also speak Mandarin at an elementary level.
Heather gives back and is involved in her community
Heather enjoys staying active
Heather has always had a passion for sports and volunteers as an assistant soccer coach. She was also a head girls basketball coach for middle school and high school while overseas.
Heather is a certified interior designer by the Council for Interior Design Qualification, and a professional member of the International Interior Design Association, as well as a member of the Connecticut River Valley Chamber of Commerce and CREW CT.
Heather loves cycling, spending time with family and friends, and renovating her home in Connecticut with her husband. Heather is also a member of her children's school PTO, and volunteers as much as possible, as she understands these years with her children fly by, and she wants to soak it all in.
