I am a member of Chi Omega Sorority.Professional ExperienceDuring my previous experience in sales management for a major corporation, I had extensive training in managing behavior, communications, relationships and negotiation. While I still had one full time job, I embraced another challenge—I entered the real estate arena as an Investor. I have successfully turned rehab projects into tax-deferred, 1031 exchanges for investment property that meets my long term investment portfolio. I researched and personally utilized Gulf Opportunity Zone Act (GO Zone) incentives for additional investment purposes. I have successfully negotiated pre-foreclosure, short-sale transactions working with sellers and multiple banks. I personally manage my investment property portfolio. Friends and my supportive husband encouraged me to use my organizational skills, my ability to multi-task and what I've learned in many personal experiences with real estate to help others to be successful.Community InvolvementServing on Lake Beau Pre Homeowner's Association BoardActive in the Nicholson Lakes Homeowner's AssociationActive in the Beau Pre Homeowner's AssociationParticipate in forums about development on the Brightside corridorServed 3 years as Vice President of Riverbend Lakes Homeowner's AssociationCredited with creating neighborhood website and was the newsletter editorAs a 22-year resident of East Baton Rouge Parish, I have concentrated on, but not limited myself to, the area of East Baton Rouge. I have extensive knowledge of the homes in the LSU area and the Brightside corridor. I thoroughly enjoy working with fellow investors; first-time buyers; buyers and sellers that are upgrading or downsizing; those who will be relocating to the wonderful Baton Rouge community; and those of you that are being transferred from the area.On a personal note, I am happily married to my husband of 20 years, we have a lovely home here and have chosen to make this the community where we'll raise our two very active little boys. Growing up in the St. Tammany area and being a graduate of Mandeville High School, I can still appreciate the strong impact and sense of community that the smaller south Louisiana areas have to offer. I am a member of St. Aloysius Catholic Church, a Cub Scout Den Leader, an active volunteer at the school and a participant in many community events. I am a voracious reader of any book that will enhance my knowledge of real estate. For fun, I love to rehab houses, scuba dive and travel.SpecialtiesLSU area properties (Single Family TimeZoneGMTOffset
