Over the course of 15 years of helping develop and run successful businesses while working closely with business partners and on her own, Amanda has learned the value of commitment, perseverance and the entrepreneurial spirit.

Amanda started her career as a Semper Fit trainer for the U.S. Marine Corp in Jacksonville NC and then as Director of Fitness for Georgia Training Alliance in Atlanta, GA where she trained some of the top athletes in NFL and college football. While working in the professional sports arena where players are constantly moving and traveling for work, Amanda also developed a niche she would later realize was a genuine passion while helping some of her NFL clients search for the best homes and neighborhoods to get their families settled into the city she had grown to know so well.

After retiring from training in 2014, she moved to Houston and started a family. Over the next few years Amanda took her entrepreneurial spirit and love of helping others find their perfect home to the world of real estate, taking it a step further by becoming a REALTOR. Amanda relies on her natural ability to genuinely connect with her clients and listen to their needs while executing their vision, along with her knowledge and passion for the business to help guide them through what is often one of the most costly transactions their family will ever make. Her goal is to meet and exceed their expectations while making the home buying or selling process an enjoyable and memorable one.

Amanda is a single mom to two adorable sons. She is still an avid fitness fanatic who enjoys spending time anywhere outside with her boys, riding roller coasters at amusement parks, spending whole days at the beach and going on new adventures.
