Why do you love what you do? The endless opportunity—to meet people, face challenges, keep up with an always-evolving market, and guide clients through the process.

What sets you apart from your competition? My commitment to my clients and the industry, relationship-centric approach, and integrated network continue to push me to new heights. I know there’s always more work to be done, lessons to learn, and strategies to explore.

Best thing about 2021 was? Taking lessons learned, big dreams, and a leap of faith to elevate my career has resulted in a lot of personal and professional growth and success.

Best advice ever given to you? Good things come to those who wait, but better things come to those who work for it by not taking shortcuts, making sacrifices to help others, maintaining integrity, and working extremely hard.

Best advice you’ve given? Embrace being uncomfortable. I spend a lot of time outside of my comfort zone.

Favorite mantra? Be humble, be hungry, and always be the hardest worker in the room.
