I have always loved the warmth of the Keys…My family has been coming to the Keys to fish and dive for 3 generations. 

I have lived in South Florida, since age 17 when I earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing at Barry University. While working as a nurse in Miami Beach, I met my husband Steve Leopold, a native Miamian. We gave up life in the big city and moved to the Keys in our first year of marriage in 1988. We spent 3 years living aboard a sailboat and cruised the Bahamas for part of that time before “settling down”. Our first daughter was born in '92 and our second in '96. 

Since starting our family, I have been a full time Mom. I served on the original Board of Directors of the Montessori Island Charter School in Tavernier and helped it gain its Charter status so that the tuition could be free. I stay involved with both the Montessori Island Charter School and Plantation Key School as a volunteer several times a week. I have also served on the Cheeca Club Social Committee. I am active in supporting many local charities including the Mariners Hospital Foundation and fundraisers for needy community members.

We, as a family, are involved in many local activities such as soccer, swimming, dance, biking and horseback riding. Tennis, a year round activity here, is my particular favorite as well as my oldest daughter's. My husband is Captain of an offshore charter fishing boat called the "Yabba Dabba Doo" in Islamorada. He is also president of the Islamorada Charter Boat Association. He enjoys a very successful career doing what he loves...fishing! As a family we love to fish or just enjoy a day on the water looking for Roseate Spoonbills, spying elegant dolphins or snorkeling in our gorgeous waters. 

I wholeheartedly believe that living here in the Keys is an extreme privilege. We have the best environment for raising a family and the best weather in the entire country and the best country in the entire world! What better place to invest in real estate than right here in the Florida Keys!
