Additional Information
I stepped away from the corporate world from 2004 to 2015 to raise my two children. My first child was born in 2004 and my second child was born in 2006. I felt it was most important to be at home full time with them. I received my real estate license in 2015 in order to have a career that was flexible with my children's schedules. I love real estate and would love to be able to use my experience in a career that is more consistent in both time and demand.
