After graduating from the University of Florida with a B.A. and an M.Ed., I became a high school teacher and coach in Jacksonville, FL. Though happy and successful, my 5-year plan was to transition into higher education. I became an adjunct instructor at a technical institute teaching night classes. At the energetic age of 25, I was teaching by day and by night, coaching high school athletes, mentoring, and leading students ranging in age from 14 to 68. My 5-year plan was realized in half the time I allotted! Unexpectedly in 2008, I met my future husband and relocated to S Florida. I maintained my adjunct role at a sister campus and was quickly promoted to Lead Composition Instructor. After teaching there for nearly 5 years, I wanted to be a part of the administrative side of adult ed. I applied to the institute's start-up campus in West Palm Beach and secured the Registrar position. I enjoyed my job and was proud of the campus I helped establish, but commuting 115 miles daily began to wear on my well-being and safety. So after nearly 3 years as a Registrar, I said good-bye and accepted a leadership role two miles from home. Missing the independence of my previous roles, I began to seriously consider real estate (always an interest and possible career choice having already owned investment properties). I graduated from real estate school and joined the Campbell & Rosemurgy Real Estate team as it outshone all other agencies I considered. My first year, I was named Rookie of the Year (2016). In January of 2018, I passed the state Broker's exam. In July of 2018, I opened my own Brokerage: Rybak Realty, LLC. In 2024, Rybak Realty acquired the well-known Harbor Point Realty. Today, we host a number of novice and experienced associates who go above and beyond to service our community and real estate customers.If you want the support of a dedicated real estate professional who has the heart of a teacher, call or message me any time.
