When I graduated law school, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Or I thought I did. As much as I loved being a lawyer, I found I wasn’t being fulfilled. I took some time off to consider my why. While helping a client and friend with a complex real estate and business acquisition, I realized what I was missing - helping real people. I define success by helping others achieve their goals. My career has always been focused on finding solutions to complexities. But I was missing the connection to peoples’ stories and lives. I needed to find something that did both.

So I started my own firm.

Making a transition wasn’t as simple as finding my why. Deciding to go it on my own and combine my passions - law and real estate - felt, in some ways, like a failure. This was a non-traditional path and I was afraid that people would judge my choice. But I saw an opportunity. As a lawyer and a realtor, I can add value throughout the process. Both roles require expert negotiation skills, being able to explain contracts, and navigating legal challenges.

I learned, though, that being courageous enough to make that choice was what mattered. When I began to believe in my choice, I uncovered a confidence I didn’t know I was lacking. Using all my skills to help clients achieve the reality they desired was the reality I desired.

I’ve also learned that it takes the right community for goals to become a reality. My family and friends supported me, even when I was still trying to figure out how to make a go of my business. Without them, I wouldn’t have much of a story to tell. Instead, I’m able to spend time being the right community for my clients, so they can reach their goals, too.

As a business owner, wife, mother, and equestrian, I know that achieving goals doesn’t happen overnight. It takes patience and grit and community. My EQUUS method was developed with these traits in mind. The EQUUS Method provides a roadmap to individuals and families who are invested in their goals and success. Helping people is why I made the choice to tell my story. When we develop a relationship, I commit to investing in your goals, so your desires become your reality.
