Prior to my career change, I was a manager at the Curves Fitness Center for women in Lenoir City, Tennessee. It was in this position that I was exposed to the daily challenges and rewards of running a small business. As the acting manager at that time, the company experienced steady growth in membership as well as a strong presence in the community.

Before moving to Tennessee I worked in the Telecommunications/Data Industry. My work experiences included sales and customer service with a Fortune 500 company. During my tenure with the company, I started as a customer service agent. My responsibilities included many of the same tasks I believe are required in real estate transactions: i.e., dependability, integrity, attention to details, and developing long term relationships. My dedication to my customers gave me the opportunity of overseeing some of the company’s larger accounts. I was promoted to manager of customer service and pursued that same excellence but on a grander scale. Eventually, I went into outside sales and enjoyed a career that was based on the importance of serving others.
