My parents moved to Knoxville, TN, when I was two years old after my dad served in Vietnam in the Navy, so I consider myself a Tennessee native.

I attended Pellissippi State Technical Community College, where I studied Legal Assistant Technology and was introduced to real estate law in one of our classes. It may sound strange, but this was my favorite class, and I was tempted to drop out of college to get my real estate license. I hesitated and didn’t pursue it, though I totally regret this decision now—hindsight is always 20/20.

After getting married and relocating to Middle TN over 28 years ago while homeschooling our four children, the time was finally right for me to obtain my real estate license. It has been the best decision I’ve ever made.

I have met some of the most interesting people, many of whom have now become my friends. I’ve had the privilege of helping numerous individuals achieve their dreams of homeownership, and it brings me immense joy to see the happiness on their faces when we reach the closing table.
