I believe there is no better place to live than Middle Tennessee. While Nashville is becoming a big city, I see its humble roots and still feel like I live in a small town; I go to Trader Joe’s and run into at least three people I know every time.

I earned my real estate education and licensing 9 years ago when my husband and I began investing in area property, and we wanted to make sure we were making the best decisions. It has been such a pleasure to help clients find homes they love or great investment properties, or sell a home for a profit that helps build wealth for clients and their future generations.

I have a Bachelor’s in Social Work and a Master’s in Public Health. Prior to real estate, I was a social worker and have found so many similarities in the two fields. I feel like being a realtor is social work for houses, because I get to help match clients to houses and to the services they need to make their home buying and selling experiences a smooth and pleasant process.

My husband and I enjoy raising three active boys, two cats, and a few chickens in the Forest Hills neighborhood. We are within three miles of all the nature, hiking, and conveniences we could ever need or want! When I’m not driving my boys around to activities and sporting events, I love to read, travel, and host parties. My husband and I have also been working on our house for the past 12 years! What can I say? I love a fixer upper.

In the future, I hope to be more involved with public and community health and its relationship to real estate and the community we live in—green housing, air quality initiatives, and improving greenways. I help host the Big Green Fair at Percy Priest Elementary School and participate in the neighborhood Weed Wrangle to tackle all the invasive species along the greenway. Currently, I am working on a Bikeway Bash to raise funds for a greenway that will eventually connect Radnor Lake Park to Warner Parks.
