I am a Columbia native, born and raised. I grew up in the heart of Shandon and attended AC Moore Elementary, Hand Middle, and Dreher High School.  I went to Presbyterian College, in Clinton, SC, where I majored in Elementary Education and minored in English.  Also, during my time at PC, I was an active member of Zeta Tau Alpha sorority and Student Volunteer Services.

After I graduated from PC, I moved back to Columbia and married my high school sweetheart. For the next four years I taught 4th and 5th grade at Lonnie B. Nelson Elementary School.  During my fourth year, I attained National Board Certification, which is one of the highest degrees awarded to educators.   And while I loved teaching, I was ready to try something different. I enjoy using many of my skills from the classroom, such as diligence, patience, problem-solving, organization, and positive attitude to help guide buyers and sellers in the home buying process.  I have worked hard to earn several designations, including: Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR), Graduate Realtor Institute (GRI), Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES), Fine Home Specialist, and Eco-Broker.  I enjoy working with buyers and sellers from all walks of life.

I love living in Columbia, which is why I am passionate about community service and community involvement. I am a member of several local organizations, such as The Columbia Junior League, The Boy's & Girl's Club of The Midlands, The Midlands Homelessness Coalition, and I served on the launch team responsible for founding New Kirk Presbyterian Church in Blythewood.  I also enjoy cooking, exercising, spending time with family and friends, being outdoors, and of course, watching the Gamecocks play football.

Columbia is and will always be my home, and I am proud to have the opportunity to help make it yours!
