Behind every showing, negotiation, late night phone call, and client celebration is a team built on service, compassion, and connection. This month especially, we wanted to take a moment to recognize the educators, nurses, and coaches who make up our team and community. May is a month dedicated to celebrating both teachers and nurses, and at WCD, those professions are deeply woven into who we are.
Before real estate, Brooke Coughlin spent years as a teacher, helping shape and mentor students in the classroom. The patience, communication, and leadership she developed through education continue to influence the way she leads clients and our team today. Her ability to guide people through major life decisions with empathy and confidence is something that began long before real estate. In addition to Brooke's commitment we recognize members of our families who have commited to educating the youth.
The WCD Team recognizes the following educators:
Carrie Graham
Kate Stochaj
Liz Clancy
Hans Despain
Steve Donahue
Bethany Wagner
Dean Packard
Sophie Cappadona
Julia Carlman
Lisa Butler
Lemis Melendez
Kailey Ortiz
Destinee Kamara
Julitza Delgado
Abigail Chrisafideis continues to actively work as a nurse while also balancing real estate and community involvement. Her dedication to caring for others is evident in every aspect of her life, whether she is supporting patients, helping clients through stressful transitions, or participating in local giveback initiatives. Her ability to remain calm under pressure and genuinely care for people is what makes her so impactful both inside and outside of this industry.
Stephanie Dolphin also brings an incredible healthcare background to our team, having worked as a nurse for 15 years before transitioning into real estate. The compassion, discipline, and resilience required in nursing have carried over into the way she serves clients every single day. Her experience has given her a unique ability to connect with people during both exciting and emotional moments in life.
The WCD Team recognizes the following nurses:
Madelyn Evangelous
Jamie Sanborn
Katie Blake
Alyssa Blake
Delaney Thomas
Meredith Hollis
Sophia Gardner
Kaleigh Hopkins
Karagen Crowe
Karley Belisle
Shauna Caissie
Adriana Ferrucci
Frances Garcia
Eline Colon
Wendy Bernal
Heather Monroe
Beyond nursing and education, Erin Messier's role as a coach reflects another important part of what makes our team culture so special. After spending four years coaching varsity volleyball and basketball, Erin has made a lasting impact on countless young women through mentorship, leadership, and encouragement both on and off the court.
The WCD Team recognizes the following coaches:
Drew Daley
Derek Guimond
Ben Desaulnier
Steve Colella
Shayne Lynch
What makes this even more meaningful is that we are surrounded by nurses and educators almost daily through our partnerships, givebacks, clients, and events. From collaborating with healthcare professionals in our community to supporting local schools, nonprofits, and family initiatives, these relationships continue to remind us why service matters so much.
Real estate is ultimately about people. It is about trust, guidance, and helping others navigate important moments in their lives. We are incredibly proud to have a team made up of individuals whose backgrounds are rooted in caring for, teaching, mentoring, and supporting others long before they ever stepped into this industry.
To every nurse, teacher, and coach in our community: thank you. Your impact reaches farther than you probably realize, and we are grateful to celebrate you this month and every month.
