I am an accomplished financial services and sales leader with over 20 years of experience in building and maintaining client relationships. Together with my husband, Reginald, we have bought and sold numerous properties as part time investors. After spending the last 10 years of my career as a corporate executive, I decided to leave the "Corporate Rat Race" and turn my part time passion into my next professional career.

Prior to joining First Class Realtors, I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mass Communications from Xavier University of Louisiana. I began my professional career shortly thereafter doing a short stint at Universal Computer Systems as a Sales and Installation Specialist before joining what was then VALIC (now Corebridge Financial). While at Corebridge Financial, I served as Vice President of Strategic Relationship Management. I then transitioned to Lincoln Financial Group to what would be my last corporate role - Head of Small Market Relationship Management.

I bring the same enthusiasm, professionalism and passion for excellence that attributed to my success in Corporate America to my real estate practice.

I am actively involved in my community as a council member and mentor for B's Girls Foundation, a mentorship and development organization for young ladies, aged 13-19. I am also actively involved in my church as a pastoral assistant.

In December, 2023, my husband, Reginald, and I celebrated 26 years of marriage. We are the proud (and busy) parents of three girls Maia, Alicia and Leila (AKA "Boss Baby"). In my free time, I am often found cheering on our girls at their various arts and sporting events.

I realize customer service has become a thing of the past. That does not mean you should settle for anything less than absolute top of the line service & attention when buying or selling one of your largest investments.

With 17 plus years of experience, I can skillfully guide you so you feel completely comfortable and confident making informed decisions. I am a certified staging, marketing and relocation specialist. All these factors will assist you in selling or buying your home.

I was born and raised in Magnolia Tx. Magnolia is where I met my husband of 12 years. In our spare time, we enjoy hunting, fishing and racing (small tire trucks). We dedicated the last 9 years helping those in need with our non profit orginization Adapt and Overcome. I measure my success based on my client's satisfaction. I'm committed.....and.....I promise to give my best to YOU!!!
