She has lived in Columbia since 1985 but along the way she has also lived in Western Pennsylvania and even St. Thomas U.S. Virgin Islands. When Sandy, husband Bruce and children David, Brad, and Rebekah moved back to MD in 1985 she had to quickly get herself acclimated to the new area.

In 1986 Sandy became a licensed Realtor and by 1990 she had completed her GRI (Graduate of Realtors Institute) designation. She then obtained her Associate Brokers License and enjoyed teaching both pre-licensing and post-licensing classes. With her vast amount of knowledge she became a branch manager for seven years and has mentored numerous agents.
