Biography         

You might not be able to tell from her accent but Mandy is a native New Yorker.  Born on Long Island, Mandy also spent part of her childhood in Maryland and attended several higher learning institutions there before returning to NYC to live and work.  Mandy’s passions are widespread; she attended Peabody Music Institute as an opera student and sang with a small opera company.  She studied painted finishes and became accomplished at painting murals.  Her interest in cooking and baking began in her father’s bakery growing up, and has never flagged and she even spent some time as a pastry chef at Café Society in Manhattan.    

Her career as a spokesperson began with public television station Channel 13 as a lead player in two series in consumer education. She developed an effortless style in conveying information. She went on to host Good Housekeeping Magazine’s Great American Mall Tour in which she performed a live version of the magazine on stages around the country. A natural salesperson, Mandy had the opportunity to work as a specialized sales consultant to the Donna Karan DKNY boutique in the flagship Macy’s store in Herald Square.  She went on to manage the Saks Fifth Avenue account for an importer of European designer fragrances.  

After having her son, her family moved to her husband’s hometown and she decided to make the switch into real estate.  She quickly became the top producer in the top office in Tulsa and earned educational designations in new home construction and the new GREEN designation in sustainable building; an asset to the three top builders and developers she represented.  But she never stopped performing and started doing trade shows in partnership with Wells Fargo Home Mortgage.  Mandy describes herself as a “life-long learner”; now living in Southern California, Mandy has taken on a new challenge representing the Canon brand as an account manager for a full line dealer.
