Born and raised in the Chicago area, real estate was always something that I wanted to get involved in. My grandfather owned his own RE company, and her uncle followed in his footsteps. They're both deceased now, so I am continuing their legacy. Now, a licensed broker, my goal is to help families and business owners find their dream properties so that they can take their lives and businesses to the next level.

I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2001. In 2006, I went on to obtain my MBA and MS Information Systems Management from Keller Graduate School. Now known as a corpora-preneur, I have many titles. I am an IT professional, speaker, author, life coach, business consultant, and radio host. My studious and determined nature has motivated me to earn a host of certificates  PMP, CSM, ACP, PBA, and LSSGB.

My I am never giving up attitude combined with my ambitious drive to beat the odds led me to establish two businessesBE IT LLC, an IT staffing and consulting company, and BE L.O.V.E. LLC, a company with a goal to help teen mom and single mothers find resources, education, and information through coaching, books, and workshops. The motivation behind my company, BE L.O.V.E. LLC, was my realization that not every mother  whether single or married  has the support to move forward with her life to follow her dreams.

I want to equip teen moms and single mothers with knowledge and resources to get up and follow their dreams, which was one of the primary reasons why I decided to become a certified coach, earning my certificate in 2010. I aspired to share my successes and failures with other single and young mothers in the same position as I was as a teen mom.
