Welcome!
👋 Hi everyone, I’m joining from Utah and so excited to connect!
Back in March 2020, just six months into marriage, my husband and I decided to move into my in-laws’ basement so I could aggressively pay off my student loans and save for a future home. Days later, the world shut down due to COVID. My husband lost his job, and while I was still working full-time, I started looking for a side hustle.
After hearing about too many multi-level marketing businesses, a cousin and a coworker suggested I try real estate. By October 2020, I had my license, and on November 1st, I officially began my real estate journey—while still working a full-time job.
Things moved quickly:
✅ December 2020: I signed my first client.
✅ February 2021: Closed my first deal.
✅ End of 2021: Paid off $65k in student loans.
✅ September 2022: We bought our first home with a $100k down payment.
✅ December 2022: Welcomed our first baby. 🍼
Life became a whirlwind—tech career, newborn, and real estate all at once. I often worked late into the night, but I fell in love with the business. Real estate introduced me to an amazing network of women who mentored and guided me through those fast-paced pandemic transactions.
Eventually, I realized I needed more balance. That’s why I created the Kickstart Guide—it’s packed with the systems and strategies that helped me, so you’ll know exactly where to start and how to grow without burning out. You’ll find it right inside the Classroom tab, under 'Get Started'.
I’m grateful for how far real estate has taken me, and I’m looking forward to learning, helping, and connecting with all of you here! ✨
