Born in small town, Savannah Ga, to a retired Daycare Director and retired Navy Officer, I am

I possessed a bachelor’s degree in business from Remington College. I started my passion for
real estate when I was introduced to the apartment industry as a leasing consultant.
I am actively involved with United Way as a Contributor and Volunteer. This allowed me to
participate on the leadership level, W.I.L.L (Women in Local Leadership). My commitment to
helping others allows me to be a mentor in my community.
