Small Business Owner, Realtor, and Social Media Manager in Warr Acres, Oklahoma
I’m originally from Allentown, Pennsylvania—yes, the same town Billy Joel sings about. Growing up, I watched my father run his own business. He worked hard, and I loved having him around, but I also saw the weight that came with being self-employed without a strong support system. That experience planted a seed in me: I knew one day I wanted to be in business for myself, but I also knew I wanted to do it differently—with faith, balance, and support.
My life hasn’t been a straight path. I went through a season of brokenness where I felt completely lost—even to the point of being homeless. But God had other plans. He saw something in me I couldn’t see in myself. In 2015, I came to Oklahoma through a ministry that helped me rebuild. Within six months, I was standing again on solid ground, and I knew Oklahoma was where I wanted to put down roots for life.
For most of my early years, I worked in restaurants. I started at 14, and it became all I knew. But over time it felt like Groundhog Day: every day the same, with no real sense of future. I didn’t know how to move forward, until one day a regular customer told me, “You’d be amazing in real estate.” At the time, I brushed it off. I was living day-to-day on tips. The idea of building a career in real estate felt impossible.
Then COVID happened. And while it was a hard time for the world, for me it became a turning point. For the first time, I had both time and the chance to invest in myself. I decided to take a leap of faith, pursue real estate, and trust that God was still working on me. And He was.
Right after earning my license, I found out I was pregnant with my miracle baby. That’s when everything came full circle. God had given me not just a career, but a purpose. Real estate became the way I could be self-employed, build a life of freedom, and still be present for my son as he grew.
It wasn’t easy in the beginning. I didn’t know anyone, I didn’t know much about the business, and I even switched brokerages to find a bigger, better place that matched my values. But I kept going. After my son was born, my husband joined me in real estate, and together we hit the ground running. With persistence, faith, and hard work, we started building real momentum.
From being homeless in Pennsylvania to helping families find their dream homes in Oklahoma, my journey has been full of struggles, but also full of blessings. I was told I would never amount to anything—that I’d never own a home. And now, not only do I own a home, but I also get to guide others in achieving that same dream.
Everyone has a story. Mine is one of resilience, faith, and finding purpose through service. For me, real estate is not just about buying and selling houses—it’s about helping people create stability, hope, and a brighter future.
This isn’t just a career for me. It’s my calling. And I’d be honored to walk with you on your journey, wherever it may lead.
