1-What made you decide to get your real estate license? My decision to get my real estate license was deeply personal, stemming from my own experiences as a homebuyer. I know firsthand how stressful buying and selling a home can be. This insight made me realize how vital it is to have an honest and reliable realtor by your side during such significant life events. I was inspired to enter the real estate field with a commitment to honesty, reliability, and transparency as my core values. I wanted to ensure that others would have a positive and reassuring experience, just as I wished for during my own home-buying journey.
2- Tell us something unique about you that makes you fun? My love for animals is something that truly sets me apart and keeps life on our farm endlessly entertaining! If I’m not hanging out with our chickens, you’ll probably find me chatting about our pig, who always manages to bring a smile to my face. My husband, Darren, often jokes that I have selective hearing—especially when he says, “No more animals!” I can’t help but laugh because he knows how much joy they bring to our lives. Whether it’s chasing after our curious chickens, sharing funny pig stories, or gently “ignoring” Darren’s well-meaning warnings, my love for animals makes every day a fun adventure.
3-What do you like best about living on the Mississippi coast? Living on the Mississippi Coast offers a blend of natural beauty, vibrant culture, and a welcoming community that I truly cherish. The stunning landscapes, from serene beaches to lush wetlands, provide a breathtaking backdrop to daily life. The coastal culture, rich with tradition and delicious seafood, adds a unique flavor to living here. The friendly, close-knit community makes you feel right at home, and the laid-back lifestyle allows for a relaxed pace where you can savor the little things, like beach strolls or quiet afternoons. Whether it’s the outdoor adventures or the simple joy of coastal living, the Mississippi Coast has a special charm that makes it a wonderful place to call home.
