Born in New Orleans and raised in Houston, TX, I've always thrived in creative spaces. After finishing my undergraduate degree focused on art and design, I found my passion in the hospitality industry, where I served as a chef and food and beverage director at a boutique hotel in Austin, Texas. Here, I honed my skills in customer service, attention to detail, and relationship building. My culinary expertise instilled in me a passion for creating memorable experiences and a commitment to delivering exceptional service to my clients.

Following my stint in hospitality, I pursued my passion for knowledge and obtained a master's degree in public administration and statistics at the University of South Carolina. My training in design thinking and leadership enhanced both my analytical and critical problem-solving skills.

My entrepreneurial and creative spirit then led me to found an innovative coworking space focused on supporting entrepreneurs in Columbia, South Carolina. I developed a love of real estate and historic buildings after buying my first commercial property, transforming the 1830’s historic building into a thriving community. My deep passion for fostering collaboration and support within the Columbia community inspired me to co-found Cola Love and its sister non-profit, Made With Cola Love, aimed at driving economic development and entrepreneurial support in the area.

I combine my diverse background in hospitality, strategic evaluation, and entrepreneurship to provide unparalleled service to my clients. My experience in customer service, attention to detail, and analytical prowess enable me to offer personalized attention and exceptional care to every client. With my deep knowledge of the local market and commitment to excellence, I am dedicated to helping my clients achieve their real estate goals and find their perfect place to call home.

In my free time, I love to spend time with my family and friends. I have a husband, a teenage son, a great pyrenees and 8 chickens. I’m passionate about amazing food and I love to cook at home and also explore new restaurants around the city. Columbia is such a special city with so many incredible features: the river, food scene, the arts, college sports and so much more. My loveletter to Columbia is my work on placemaking, community building, and supporting local business through my work with Cola Love.
