Anne Moodey
Anne is a New England native, a Portsmouth resident, and someone who loves to embrace everything the Seacoast area has to offer. She has lived in many places across the country but is excited to have planted roots here back in 2017. She was drawn to the area because of the proximity to the ocean, the mountains, and her family. The abundance of great recreational, dining and shopping options, the charm of the local neighborhoods and towns, and the warm and welcoming people have made this the perfect place for Anne to call home.
