Milestones
My road in life has taken me all over.
I knew early on that I wanted to eventually become a real estate agent after watching the movie “Ferris Bueller's Day Off.”
I joined the military and moved with my children from Arizona to Nevada.
While in the military, I was attending school at the College of Southern Nevada.
Due to a change in circumstances with childcare, I had to take an early departure from the military, which also impacted my ability to use a VA loan to pay for my schooling and I had to drop out.
I took a job as an administrative assistant at a real estate company to get my foot in the door and gain hands-on experience before I officially earned my real estate license a few years later.
When I decided I wanted to go back to school and complete my degree, I submitted a letter to the military to petition for tuition assistance, which they granted!
I earned a certification in business administration from Rio Salado College and then transferred to Grand Canyon University, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in finance and economics.
I now work as a realtor for eXp Realty.

Accomplishing Goals
Day to Day
Most of my day involves reaching out and contacting people. I start my day by checking my email for any responses from contacts I made the day before. Then I'll set aside time to make calls and put out feelers to see if anyone wants to buy or sell a home. I schedule time for open houses and appointments to show properties to clients, which are based on my clients' schedules. I also spend time doing marketing.
