I was born and raised in the northern suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, where I witnessed incredible growth and transformation. My dad was an architect, and when I was young, I often went to construction sites with him and kept seeing plans on paper transform into beautiful buildings. That experience has given me a deep appreciation for the world of home building. It’s something that I’ve carried with me throughout my life. In my early 20s, I left Atlanta and followed my sister to Colorado Springs, Colorado, where I built a successful career as a cosmetologist and salon owner for over 17 years. Helping people look and feel their best was truly rewarding and fueled my passion for working with others. Life then took an unexpected turn when I met my husband, and we moved to Bismarck, North Dakota. Although I continued my craft there, after five winters, we decided it was time for a change. With close family friends in Jacksonville, Florida, we visited, fell in love with the area, and soon found our dream home in the beautiful community of Tamaya. Knowing I’d have to rebuild my business, I decided it was the perfect time for a career pivot. Real estate had always intrigued me, with family members who were successful in the field inspiring me to explore it further. I started by joining a builder’s team in my neighborhood as a Community Ambassador, where I gained valuable experience working alongside onsite agents. However, I soon realized my passion extended beyond one community. That’s when I decided to get into general real estate. I love the variety this career brings: exploring different neighborhoods, helping clients find their perfect homes, and building lasting relationships along the way. Real estate pushed me to grow in ways I never imagined, helping me step outside my comfort zone and become a stronger, more confident version of myself. It’s all about helping people in a new and meaningful way, and I’m honored to play a part in such an important chapter of their lives. Today, I’m proud to be working with home buyers and sellers in Jacksonville and surrounding areas to provide seamless transactions and optimal results, ensuring they feel supported every step of the way.
