Sometimes the only thing standing between where you are and where you’re meant to be is the willingness to take a leap of faith and believe in yourself to be successful. 

“You’re not focused here anymore. You need to go sell real estate.”

That’s what my boss said before letting me go. He wasn’t frustrated. He was doing me a favor. He could see what I hadn’t fully admitted to myself yet. My time, energy, and attention had already shifted. I was booking showings on lunch breaks, checking listings between calls, and thinking about clients during meetings. That conversation gave me the push I needed.

Looking back, each step in my path prepared me for real estate. Growing up, my mom was a builder, so I saw houses being created from the ground up. That planted the seed early. In college at the University of Memphis, I studied business management while also being a cheerleader—I’d played just about every sport and found myself doing something entirely new. I also worked full-time with my grandfather at a car dealership. It was a lot to balance, but helped me learn to manage my time.

 At the dealership, I held almost every role, from detailing to sales and finance manager. It taught me how to read people, how to build trust quickly, and how to help someone through a major purchase. But I also knew I didn’t want to be inside a building six days a week. As much as I liked cars, I wanted more flexibility and more lasting connections.

After leaving the dealership, I took a job with the State of Tennessee, overseeing transportation services for patients. It gave me structure and stability, but also space to figure out what came next. That’s when I started thinking about real estate. I looked into commercial first, but the slow transaction process didn’t fit what I wanted to do. Residential moved faster and let me build genuine relationships. It gave me a way to apply what I had learned and start building something of my own that aligned with my experience and values. In 2015 I got licensed and started part-time while still keeping my full-time job.

At first, I balanced both. But real estate kept pulling me in. Slowly, it became clear that this wasn’t just a side job. It was what I was meant to be doing. That’s when my boss sat me down and gave me the green light I hadn’t been ready to give myself. In the moment, it stung. But it was exactly what I needed.

 Going full-time was a big step, but I had great mentors who helped me build a strong foundation. Once I was all in, I understood why nothing else had ever quite fit. I enjoy solving problems, guiding people through important decisions, and staying calm when things feel uncertain. I’ve always loved being a connector—the go-to person for anything people need, from recommending a great contractor or lender to sharing the best local restaurants. It’s a passion of mine to connect people with the right solutions, relationships, and resources that make a big difference. 

I’ve lived all over Memphis, so I understand not just the housing market but how different areas fit different lifestyles. I ask about more than the price or square footage. I want to know how people live and  what matters most to them in the next chapter. Helping someone find the right fit, not just any house, is what makes this work meaningful and fulfilling to me. I get to help people move forward in life and feel supported while they do it. Every part of my journey had something to teach me, and each experience shaped the way I work with people today. 

Outside of real estate, I spend most of my free time with friends and family, staying active through basketball, volleyball, or pickleball.  I also enjoy collaborating with local non-profits that are dedicated to making a positive impact in the community.

 With 10 years of experience in real estate, I see patterns as they form in the market, spot potential issues early, and understand the changing needs of buyers and sellers. That experience gives my clients a clear advantage. I can guide, advise, and explain each step of the process, but I always respect that the final decision is theirs. My role is to provide the tools, information, and full support they need to feel confident in that choice.

 

I’m highly communicative throughout every transaction. I want you to know what’s happening, what’s coming next, and why it matters. From the start, I make it clear that you’re never bothering me with questions. I want you to ask because it will reduce unnecessary stress and ensure we are always on the same page. Whether you’re buying your first home or your fifth investment property, I offer the same consistent approach: honest guidance, clear communication, and a commitment to helping make the decision that aligns with your goals.
