For 16 years, I worked “behind the scenes” for title companies, perfecting my own systems, processes, and procedures for all things related to the closing. In 2013, I transitioned into sales for a title company. My job was to build relationships with and ultimately earn business from Realtors and Lenders. One way I did that was by teaching classes. After hearing from so many Realtors what areas they struggled within their business, I knew I could help. Thus began a journey of developing and teaching classes on systems, organization, time management, overall marketing, social media, branding and lead generation. I also make time to continue to learn so the value is always there. To date, I have over 200 classes under my belt. The feedback has always been fantastic and I consistently hear from Realtors and Lenders that what they learned from me has moved the needle in their businesses. There is nothing that lights me up like helping someone understand the power of having a marketing plan that works. 

Over the past two years, I have become very passionate about another topic that is personal to me and affects so many in this industry. That topic is self-advocacy. Many things can fall under that umbrella. For me, it’s mostly been mental health. My own story is a lifelong one but I do not always tell it that way; it depends on the audience. I have always felt called to be a light and an encourager. Every part of my journey, personal and professional, has led to this moment. Now I am sharing all of it, the most part being what occurred in the last two years. Yes, it’s probably harder than anything else I have shared because I am afraid to be judged. But like the lyrics of one of my favorite songs, Fear by Francesca Battistelli, “Fear you don’t own me, There ain’t no room in this story, And I ain’t got time for you, Telling me what I’m not, Like you know me well guess what, I know who I am, I am strong, And I am free, Got my own identity, So fear, you will never be welcome here”.
