About Me:

Originally from Michigan, I lived in San Diego for ten years after graduating college until my wife and I moved to Texas to be closer to her family. Prior to real estate, I earned a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. As a real estate broker, my mission is to introduce buyers to a community where they feel a connection, and help sellers with the sale of their home so that they can experience a smooth transition into the home that best accommodates their current needs and situation.

Stemming from my desire to interact with people in a challenging career, business endeavors range from the telecommunications industry where I held positions in management, to working with my family's beach rental business.

After recognizing the potential in the vacation home business, I earned my real estate license in order to take a more active role in the family business, as well as expand my own business into residential sales.

Determined, hardworking, knowledgeable, and adaptable are a few of the characteristics that attribute to my success. However, my incomparable strength is attention to detail, which is an instrumental component in every phase of the real estate transaction. Furthermore, I emphasize the importance of communication, which is paramount to delivering exemplary customer service. I listen to clients' needs and wants, educate them throughout the process, and keep them informed every step of the way, even if there are no updates available.

As an award winning business owner, April has more than 25 years as a hospitality professional and has owned businesses for 20 years and counting. She brings her proven hospitality expertise to real estate with more than 400 five star reviews as owner of Galveston Vacation Rentals LLC.

April lives in Galveston with her beloved 21 year old poodle, Biscotti. Biscotti is CCO, Chief Canine Officer of Galveston Vacation Rentals and often times is the first to meet a client at the door of April's real estate office.

As a Realtor® I'm holding the prestigious ABR®, C2EX, CIPS, CNE, GRI, PSA designations and I'm honored to be serving global clients as well.

Originating from Ukraine, I'm a true representation of the American Dream. After moving to the United States, I started working with little ability to speak English. Perseverance and staying focused on my goal have allowed me to build on this foundation. I'm fluent in Ukrainian and Russian.

I was born in Germany and have lived all over the world, being the daughter of an Air Force Officer. I chose to make Galveston my home. I lived in Sea Isle briefly in 1996, then moved to Atlanta, Georgia for the next 13 years. In 2009, I received my bachelor's degree in Film/Video with a minor in English at Georgia State University. I worked as a paralegal/legal assistant for the duration in Atlanta. I returned to Galveston Island, specifically Jamaica Beach, in January 2010. After bartending for nearly 10 years, I decided to finish/update my real estate classes, which I completed in 1996 in Texas. At the time, I didn't sit for the exam to obtain my license as I moved to Georgia. I am enjoying my 5th year as a Realtor at Galveston Island Real Estate. I am currently taking classes to become a broker. I hope to finish by the end of 2023. Besides working as a Realtor, I am in the process of writing a screenplay. I enjoy playing piano, guitar & drums in my 'free' time. I am involved in the community through the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and the Galveston Citizens Police Alumni Association (GCPAA), as Sergeant at Arms.

I am fourth generation BOI (born on the Island) and am very proud of the Island and it's beauty! I had been in healthcare for over thirty years and decided one day that the Real Estate world was right for me! Make people as happy as I am to call Galveston home or home away from home in some cases. My goal is to provide the best personal service possible to make each one of my clients know that I am truly dedicated to them finding their dream home here on lovely Galveston Island!
