Apparently, owning a brokerage is kind of chic. ✨

But the best part was never just closing more deals, winning awards, or selling beautiful homes.

It’s building something bigger than yourself. Creating opportunities. Building careers. Giving back to the communities that gave you a chance in the first place. And realizing that your own success means a whole lot more when you can use it to help someone else create theirs.

Turns out, that’s my kind of chic. 🖤✨

Shelton… are you ready?

The nation’s top high school basketball talent is coming to Connecticut.

The Ta’Quan Zimmerman Elite 20 Invitational is bringing elite competition, national media attention, and NBA-level exposure to our backyard all while promoting one important message:

Be A Baller, Not A Bully.

The Shelton Police Department is proud to stand behind that message because Ballers Wear Blue Too. Respect, teamwork, leadership, and looking out for one another are values shared both on the court and in our community.

This is more than a basketball event it’s an opportunity to inspire our youth, bring our community together, and show the country what Shelton is all about.

Thanks to the incredible support of our community and business partners, admission is FREE for athletes, families, and spectators.

We’ll see you on the court.

Awesome to see so many young adults show up at the Capitol today in support of the Boys & Girls Club of Connecticut 👏

I had the privilege of meeting Gianna from Shelton alongside Rep. McGorty and Rep. Romano. Always inspiring to connect with the next generation of leaders and advocates.

Organizations like the Boys & Girls Club create incredible opportunities and spaces for kids and young adults to grow and thrive. Looking forward to welcoming them back again soon!
