PROFILE
I lived in Cloumbia all my life. My husband and I reside in Blythewood and are blessed with four wonderfull sons , ages 14, 17,18, 23. We have a very sweet yellow lab named Zeke. I love to meet new people and find great pleasure in helping others. I guess thats why I love being a Realtor. I am able to help families with one of the largest investments that they will make. When you are looking for a real estate agent you need to have someone that has the knowledge, the skill and the professionalism to help you get from the contract to the closing, but more importantly you need an agent you can trust. I will not compromise my integrity to make money. I will stand firm on my values and beliefs and I will assure you that my word is my bond. If you want to dobusiness the old fashioned way then hire me to represent you and together we will make your dream a reality.

AWARDS & RECOGNITION
I have given of my time to many organizations and events that give back to our great community. Senior Resources, Dog Trials, Salkahatchie Summer Service and Families Helping Families to list a few. However, those that have meant the most to me personally are the lives that I have touched through grief outreach services while owning and operating Elmwood Cemetery here in Columbia. During this time I, with the help of many others, were able to develop programs and services such as: Garden of Angels at Elmwood (a burial garden for infants and children) History Comes Alive at Elmwood (a historical walking tour) Veterans Garden of Honor (Free Burial for Veterans) Garden of Valor (Free Burial for those in public service) It is in giving that I receive! I have been richly blessed by my involvement in each of these.

HOBBIES
My favorite thing to do is to spend time with my family. We love to participate in church activities and in missions outreach within our local community. Each of the boys is also involved in different sports so we happily stay on the go in our spare time cheering for them. If there is any time left then you will find me reading a book and just being still.
