How I got here….

You might be wondering how I got into this field of work…..

If you know me or if you read my “about me” section, then you know that I went to college and started work as a CPA in public accounting.  I focused on that career for seven years before I decided to stay home with my children as a stay-at-home mom.  It was not an easy decision, but it was the right decision for our family at that time.

I kept my CPA license assuming I would eventually go back to that career, but I started to realize that I may not go back to public accounting after all.  It just wasn’t something that I felt called to go back to.  It was familiar to me and it would have been the “easy” choice to jump back into something I was familiar with…BUT…”easy” isn’t always the right choice!

In December 2022, my husband was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer.  Our world was turned upside down in every way.  I can remember sitting at my kitchen counter absolutely terrified of my future.  I was a stay-at-home mom with three young children and a husband that didn’t have a good prognosis.  Talk about a wake up call – that was definitely mine!  I knew in that moment I would eventually go back to work outside of the home.  I also knew I never wanted to feel that level of fear related to how I would support my children if I was ever left alone.  So, I picked myself up and got through all of the treatments and surgeries with him.  I started to feel the desire to work again, but what kind of work would I do?  It was something I wrestled with for a long time.

That’s when real estate came into my life.  I began to realize that I could help other people in my community as well as support my family with that “job” so I went after it full force.  Even when my husband’s cancer came back a second time, I did not stop.  I kept learning and studying for my exam.

I found a love for this work, and I truly get to do something that brings joy and passion!  I am very grateful for this “job” that I get to do every day!

Everyone has a story and a purpose behind their passion – mine started with cancer and turned into so much more!  I truly want you to LOVE where you LIVE.  Your home should be a place a peace, joy, love, and rest.  If you don’t have that, please reach out and let me help you!
