I have successfully managed teams of 100+ individuals, closed deals worth up to $1.2 million, and even had the privilege of serving as Mr. Marriott's personal server.

While my professional life is thriving, my 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞 is being a mom to my energetic 6-year-old, Axel. Balancing the demands of work and family brings joy and fulfillment. In my downtime, I love to hit the range 🏌️‍♀️, snuggle my two dogs, and even make it to the beach for sunrise occasionally.

My guiding motto is simple yet powerful: "𝑰𝒇 𝑰 𝑪𝒂𝒏'𝒕, 𝑴𝒚 𝑵𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌 𝑪𝒂𝒏." I believe in teamwork and collaboration. By working together and using the strengths of our network, we can accomplish remarkable things. Building 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 is important to me, and I'm dedicated to making a 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 on the lives of those I work with.
