Born and raised in Northern Ireland, I began my journey in 1992, following a passion for travel that led to eleven exciting years working around the world in the cruise ship industry. It was during this time that I discovered Mexico—a country whose natural beauty and welcoming spirit immediately felt like home.
I first settled in Puerto Vallarta, where I worked as a co-broker in a local real estate firm. After four successful years, I realized I was ready for a change of climate. A New Year’s visit to Ajijic proved transformative. I was struck not only by its year-round temperate weather, but by the warmth and connection among both locals and expatriates.
In early 2008, my partner and I made Ajijic our permanent home. We invested in Casa Flores B&B and spent several rewarding years building a thriving hospitality business and becoming deeply rooted in the community.
With a strong entrepreneurial foundation and a passion for helping others find their place here, I returned to real estate and joined the team at Fenix Real Estate. I am proud to work alongside Dixie Nicholson, a respected broker with nearly 30 years of experience in the Ajijic market and extensive expertise in real estate and transactional processes.
Today, I combine global perspective, local knowledge, and genuine care to help clients confidently navigate their real estate journey in Ajijic.
