About Cari

Originally from the Desert Southwest in Moab, Utah, Cari  lived in Colorado for 14 years before moving to Florida in 2014. She began her OPi career in the Naples office, but currently lives in the Englewood area and works mostly remote for her clients up and down the SW FL coast.

Favorite Interests & Hobbies:

You can catch me either adding to my impressive plant collection via plant shows or nursery tours, or caring for my impressive plant collection that almost completely resides in my house at this time! I also love a good hockey game, a craft brewery, and a good book. Lastly, I tend a herd of 5 cats known as “The Ladies”, as well as 2 dogs. I’ve recently developed a fascination for birds, and had the most wonderful time doing Falconry at the Biltmore House. I love to collect aroid and orchid plants, and go to plant shows and nurseries in my spare time.
