Geri Walker, OFFICE MANAGER

Geri Walker has lived on the island since 1975 when her family bought the West Moor Inn and continued their career as family innkeepers having owned and operated a large hotel in Newport, RI and The Inn At Steele Hill in Laconia, NH.

A hotel brat raised in the seasonal tourist industry, Geri always loved traveling, photography and writing, and spent her senior year away from Nantucket High school as an AFS exchange student in a remote fishing village in Cape Muroto, Japan. After completing her double major in Japanese Language and Journalism in 1988, she began traveling the globe working in hospitality and travel industry related jobs, always coming home to refresh her spirit on Nantucket. A referral from a college friend in 1998 landed her a full-time job in New York City as a producer for a live news magazine program that aired nationwide on the largest commercial network in Japan, Nippon Television Network.

Driving crews during the NYC blackout, daily live interviews after the attacks on the World Trade Center on 9/11, translating for cameramen from inside helicopters, trains, rooftops and rollercoasters and ultimately learning the ropes of copyright, broadcast license agreements and location permits for satellite transmission of live news broadcasts was exciting yet challenging work. Geri finally met Mr. Right and retired from television and the hectic pace of New York in 1998 to return home to Nantucket to raise their baby girl, Lily. Together they enjoy the clear night skies on the island, have bought their first home and first kayak, and smile to think that the evening hours spent gardening and growing vegetables now happily replaces the time they would have spent commuting and picking up take-out meals. As both of her parents were licensed brokers after retiring from the inn business, Geri is looking forward to joining the administrative team at Atlantic East Nantucket Real Estate to embark on a new journey..
