My Real Estate Journey
My passion for real estate started early—watching my grandmother manage her multifamily properties as a child. My brother mowed the lawns, and I was fascinated by how real estate created stability and generational wealth in our family.
My first official role in the industry was as a data entry clerk at the Multiple Listing Service. In 1999, I purchased my first home, followed by my first investment property in 2001. Since then, real estate has been my calling.
Today, I proudly serve as the Broker and 100% Owner of Next Level Realty & Investments. Before launching my firm, I spent five impactful years with Keller Williams Professionals, where I also served on the Agent Leadership Committee.
Over the past decade, I’ve:
-
Sold over 1,000 properties as both a REALTOR® and investor
-
Trained real estate agents in professionalism, compliance, and both online and offline marketing strategies
-
Coached aspiring REALTORS® on exam prep and closing their first deals with confidence. Contact me!
Community-Driven Impact
As I advanced in my career, I couldn’t ignore the pattern I saw: many renters in Detroit's inner city were single mothers facing limited options for homeownership. That realization sparked the creation of my nonprofit, Next Level Detroit, a 501(c)(3) organization committed to:
-
Reviving pride in local neighborhoods
-
Making affordable housing accessible
-
Offering creative homebuying programs for families in need
-
Providing resources and support for single mothers overcoming hardship
As Founder and President, I’m deeply committed to helping families build better futures through real estate.
