Embracing change and following my passions led me to a career I truly love—one that has become a core part of my family’s life. I’ve learned that fulfillment is built on courage, resilience, and the willingness to take chances.

A single realization changed the entire trajectory of my life. After eight years of teaching, I finally acknowledged that I was no longer passionate about the work I was doing. I wanted more meaning, more excitement, and a life that aligned with my values. That desire for change surfaced during one of the most emotional chapters of my life—after the loss of a pregnancy with twins, followed by the incredible joy of becoming pregnant again with another set of twins, Allison and Nolan, who are now teenagers. Those experiences reshaped my perspective and made me incredibly intentional about how I chose to spend my time. I wanted my kids to see their mom pursuing something she loved—and to grow up knowing they could do the same.

Real estate had always been part of my world. My family invested heavily in both commercial and residential properties, and the constant exposure sparked a deep curiosity in me from an early age. When I was ready for a new beginning, real estate felt like the most natural fit. I enrolled in school, took the leap, and never looked back.

My first year in real estate was slow—especially in the aftermath of the 2008 market crash. I joined a small boutique firm with limited resources, which meant I had to learn quickly and often on my own. But I was determined. I worked hard, stayed focused, and committed to delivering exceptional service to my clients. By my second year, everything began to click, and I realized this career had the potential to change my life. Even now, I wake up grateful that I get to help people bring their dreams to life through real estate.

My children have grown up in this industry right alongside me. Saturdays often meant piling into the car and heading to showings—it became our normal. Today, they browse Zillow for fun, analyze properties, and brainstorm investment ideas. Watching them take an interest in something I love has been one of the most rewarding parts of this journey.

Outside of real estate, horses have always been a defining passion. I’ve ridden since childhood and am now a proud dressage rider. Recently, I earned my USDF Silver Medal with my horse, Lord Perry—a milestone that reminded me how important it is to chase your dreams, no matter how busy life becomes. My daughter, Allison, shares that same passion. She rides Lord Perry as well, chasing her own medals, with her goal this year being to earn her Silver Medal too.

Meanwhile, my son Nolan is an aspiring entrepreneur with plans to attend MIT. He spends his free time woodworking, training in MMA, and tending to the ducks and chickens on our family farm—farming has become something we all truly enjoy and treasure.

I’m also incredibly grateful for my husband, Nick, who has been a constant source of support throughout every chapter of my life. As high school sweethearts, we’ve grown together, worked hard together, and built the life we love. He is a Fire Medic, CPA, CFP, and the owner of Turner Tax, and none of this would be possible without his steady encouragement and belief in me.

As a family, we love spending time out on the lake—wakeboarding, tubing, and enjoying the Florida sunshine. We also cherish our opportunities to travel, creating memories that allow us to slow down and reconnect.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with incredible clients—many of whom have become lifelong friends. It’s an honor to guide people through one of the most meaningful financial and emotional decisions of their lives. I treat my clients like family, advocating for their best interests every step of the way.

Born and raised in Tampa, I bring deep local expertise and strong community connections to every transaction. I specialize in the Odessa area, known for its stunning lakefront homes, farms, acreage, and equestrian estates. While I’ve been recognized as a top producer in both my firm and throughout Tampa Bay, my true focus has always been on client satisfaction. Your happiness, trust, and peace of mind are—and always will be—the greatest indicators of my success.
