AboutGrowing up with a single mom who was a full-time real estate agent, I was always around real estate. So, in college, I started working on obtaining my real estate license, “just to have it,” I thought. I went on to work at ESPN in their social media department in Bristol, Conn. However, I felt called to return to my roots and start my career in real estate. In April 2017, I moved back to Atlanta and began my career. I hit the ground running, built my business from the ground up, and now almost six years and more than 100 clients later, I have never felt more fulfilled.
In October 2022, my mom was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Heartfelt messages about the impact my mom had on people’s lives came in, many from clients that she met over the years of her career. During such a scary time, that was an absolute bright spot for our family to see support from clients that became her friends. This exemplified her main lesson to me: that the key to her success—and now mine—is to treat people with kindness, respect, and most importantly, as a friend.
