She grew up in and around the tourist industry. She has been a real estate developer, auctioneer, legal librarian, and an appraiser of collectibles, antiques and furniture. She went to school in Miami, graduating with a Degree in communications. She came to Charleston to learn about antiques and soon realized that she could get into the historic homes for free if she had a tour guide license. So, she became a tour guide. She started by giving ghosts tours and didn’t expect to like it because her first love was history. She soon realized just how many people were interested in hearing the ghost stories and enjoyed the fact that she could tailor each story to any specific audience. This made it fun. She was disappointed that there wasn’t a CD of ghost stories, so she decided to make one. This has been a labor of love. She has always been a writer and already had the bones of most of the stories. She collected the best voices she could find – tour guides, voice over actors, stage performers etc. and Palmetto Ghosts was born.
