Lea worked her way up in the senior living industry and spent two years as a Director of Sales & Marketing assisting families with moving their loved one into a senior living community.

Estate planning involves making critical decisions about the future, which can often be emotionally taxing. Lea’s role is to provide a supportive and compassionate environment where clients can relax, destress, and focus on their own well-being while addressing their legal concerns.

Lea grew up in Rochester and now calls it home with her husband & dog, Stella. She enjoys spending her free time baking, reading books, playing pickle ball & going to Pilates. Lea comes from a big Greek family whom she loves spending time with, especially at their cottage in Charlevoix, MI.
