Helping families achieve homeownership isn’t just my job—it’s my passion. Born in Jackson, Mississippi, raised in Franklin, Tennessee, and a Nashville resident for over 25 years, I understand the importance of building strong communities through financial empowerment. I started my career in the mortgage industry in 2012, and over the years, I’ve helped countless individuals and families achieve their homeownership goals. As a Community Development Mortgage Lender at Southern Bancorp, I work with clients at every stage of their homeownership journey, offering resources like credit counseling, budgeting guidance, and down payment assistance to make the process more accessible. Beyond my career, I’m deeply committed to financial education and community development. I serve on the Habitat for Humanity Family Selection Committee, helping families take the first steps toward owning a home. I’m also involved with NMBA Future Leaders and have previously served as the board treasurer for Healing in The Margins, an advisory board member for Nashville Impact 100 and an alumna of Young Leaders Council Class 78. When I’m not working or volunteering, you’ll likely find me reading a good book, hiking my favorite trail, experimenting with new recipes, or spending time with my mini poodle.
