Lili Sheeline Draws From a Lifetime of Experience Every Day
A defining moment in Lili Sheeline's life came one evening in Alaska, while floating in her kayak in the frigid waters of the Prince William Sound. In essence, she was staring life right in the eye, as she found herself face to face with - even close enough to touch - a humpback whale. It was the experience of a lifetime, a memory she cherishes to this day.
Lili feels blessed to have experienced many other magical moments in her life. She lives for opportunities when she can embrace life with exuberant passion. From traveling alone in Africa as a teen to wrangling horses in Wyoming's Wind River Mountains and observing seals on ice floes in Antarctica, this adventurous businesswoman has explored the globe and handled the unexpected with grace and creativity. These moments and the many wonderful people she's met along the way have helped to shape Lili's unique perspective on life and business.
Higher Learning
After earning a degree in wildlife biology from the University of Vermont, Lili traveled and worked her way through Europe and Asia, then embarked on a tenure with the World Wildlife Fund in Washington, D.C., focusing on endangered species issues. Later, at Yale University's School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, she earned her master's degree in environmental studies and put it to work for the Smithsonian Institution's Office of Environmental Awareness. Not content with the status quo, this inquisitive professional took her expertise into the Peace Corps in Chile, where she worked with forest rangers, community groups and youth on environmental awareness.
In real estate, Lili has shown the same level of interest in continually expanding her education, with an emphasis in "green" issues. She is certified by EcoBroker International, and holds the NAR GREEN designation from the National Association of Realtors. She also holds Council of Residential Specialists (CRS), Graduate Realtor Institute (GRI), and Green Certified Real Estate Professional (GCREP) designations. Lili serves on the Green Committee of the Greater Capital Area Association of Realtors®.
Winding Down
"Action" could have been Lili's middle name in years past, as she's been known to eschew cars in favor of bikes, horses and kayaks. These days, this on-the-go explorer favors quieter leisure pursuits - a great read with her Chilean cat, Machi, curled on her lap, walks along scenic bike paths with her two retrievers, Bobby and Darla, and visits to the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. To truly "refuel", Lili and her husband, Tim, love to connect with family in Maine.
Embracing Challenge
Judging by the many wonderful experiences and events that have peppered Lili's life, it's clear she brings a passionate approach to everything she does.
