Growing up, I was raised by two dedicated educators who collectively contributed over 60 years to the Greenville County school system in the upstate of South Carolina. In addition to their careers in education, my father also ran a successful contracting business, instilling in me a lifelong commitment to learning and a genuine enthusiasm for real estate. Before entering the world of real estate, I enjoyed a successful career in advertising and marketing. Collaborating with Fortune 500 companies such as Verizon, Wells Fargo, Tempur-Pedic, and numerous national and regional businesses, I honed invaluable skills that I now leverage in the real estate industry. My background equips me with essential abilities, including dedication to my clients, expert negotiation skills, keen attention to detail, and a deep passion for market research. These qualities are integral to the way I collaborate with my clients in the buying and selling process. As a REALTOR, one of the most rewarding aspects of my job is the privilege of helping guide people through what is often the largest financial decision of their lives. Buying and selling homes can be an emotional roller coaster, but I am committed to being your trusted advisor, accompanying you every step of the way, ensuring that you are well-informed and comfortable throughout the process. Outside of my professional life, you can find me exploring local Farmer's Markets, enjoying live music events, and immersing myself in the vibrant local art scene. On football Saturdays, you'll catch me cheering for the USC Gamecocks, as I'm a former letterman. My love for competition extends to playing and watching sports. I'm also dedicated to giving back to the community. While living in South Carolina, I was a volunteer with Meals on Wheels for 8 years and actively supported Greenville County Animal Care. Additionally, I'm a past member of the Greenville Networking Group.
