Anne has consulted with a number of local businesses on digital marketing, and is the owner of the website Port City Foodie.

“This career opportunity is perfect for me: real estate is dynamic, and I love the challenge of marketing in a fast-paced and competitive vertical. KBT and Keller Williams are doing exciting things in their digital transformation, which means there are new technologies to leverage, too,” Anne says. “My parents have lived in Wilmington for more than twenty years, so I have a strong Wilmington connection. My kids grew up spending the summers and holidays here. I especially love historic downtown, and am really fortunate to live where I can walk to all the great restaurants - I’m a real foodie - that the riverfront area has to offer.”
