But here I am—and I wouldn’t change a thing.
My real estate journey started in 2016 when I bought my first home. Something clicked. It wasn’t just about square footage or paperwork; it was about possibility. By October 2017, I was fully licensed with Howard Hanna, and a few days later, unexpectedly laid off from my full-time job. With no formal sales background, I dove in headfirst—and sold over 20 homes in my first year.
What I lacked in experience, I made up for in passion. I believed in what I was doing. I still do. Since then, real estate has allowed me to build a life I once couldn’t have imagined. I've:
Created a flexible lifestyle to be present as a mom (my favorite title!)
Bought and sold multiple properties of my own
Traveled to places I’d only dreamed of
Led community events, supported local causes, and met some incredible people along the way.
But the most fulfilling part? Helping others do the same. Whether you’re buying your first home, moving up, or starting fresh—there’s something empowering about real estate when it’s done with care, strategy, and heart.
So, if you're thinking about your next move, I’d be honored to be the one to guide you through it. Let’s make your next chapter a great one.
