    As a dedicated follower of Jesus, my faith inspires my commitment to service, integrity, and community engagement. I am honored to have received the Notable Nole Award at FSUPC, an accolade celebrating my academic excellence, leadership, and active participation on campus. At FSUPC, I pursued a degree in Business Administration while enhancing campus life by founding a running club and organizing events that brought students together. Additionally, my role as Intramural Sports Coordinator enriched my leadership skills by emphasizing the value of teamwork, organization, and community spirit.

    Today, I am thriving as a real estate agent at Keller Williams, where I have taken great leaps in honing my skills to help clients achieve their real estate goals on both the buying and selling sides. Having recently earned my broker’s license, I am excited to announce the upcoming launch of Secure Real Estate, a venture dedicated to better serving the needs of Bay County.
