TELL US ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY TO REAL ESTATE.

I went into real estate following a number of years in healthcare bouncing around in different roles. I currently hold my role as a nurse. The idea of owning
a business appealed to me and with much exploration, I developed a passion for real estate. I became a realtor as a way to building a business I can call my
own.

I am a nurse who happens to be a Realtor. What I take with me from one role to the other is my work ethic, my desire to connect with people and help
others.
