OCD and very scheduled, and an alpha. That is how they would describe me.

Leaving the world a better place than it was when I found it. And community.

What are a few of your proudest accomplishments?

It sounds kinda silly. My greatest accomplishment is my children. Through real estate I found a way to be there for my children everyday. I literally work from home and make great money, and provide a service to the community, and I still get to be a mom. That mom work life balance is a big deal. My job is super cool. I get to help people get what they want and tend to my No. 1 priority, which is my kids.

What do you like most about the community you live in?

It still has the small town vibes but with big city education and athletic opportunities. It’s safe, and it’s a great place to raise a family.
