When I first got started in real estate, I didn’t have a whole lot of money, experience, or credit. But I had to start somewhere. I learned that even though I didn’t have access to tons of resources, I was still able to make things happen.
What I lacked in resources, I made up for in grit, passion, perseverance, and sound decision-making. I started small – learning everything I could about how to invest the money I did have. As I stayed the course, things started to happen. Now, after nearly a decade of investing in real estate, it’s time for me to share my knowledge and experience to help people like me – black and brown professionals with a vision to build generational wealth.
The system wasn’t designed to help people of color. But it’s time for change. Together, we can create better investing opportunities for our neighbors and friends, offer safer, more affordable housing communities, and build financial legacies that last generations.
Personal: I’m happily married with 2 daughters. We live in New York City, where I’m a coordinator at a prestigious healthcare facility. I’ve spent my career managing high volume operations, while remaining a reliable point-person for patients, families and clinicians. When I’m not working I enjoy jogging, traveling, and the creative arts.
Investing: I began consuming real estate investment education in 2010. Two years later I formed an investment group and in 2013 I was a founding member and Acquisitions Chair of a group purchasing single family rehab-rentals in Detroit, Michigan. In 2015, I purchased my first residential multifamily property and fell in love with the life-changing possibilities. Presently, I am invested in 156 units, podcast host and multifamily mentor – all with the mission of working to open doors to investors of color.
Education: I have a Bachelors degree in Biology & Society from Cornell University (2005) and a Masters degree in Healthcare Interior Design from The NY School of Interior Design (2017). On the real estate side, I’ve participated in numerous education platforms, boot camps and courses. I am currently a member of the Wheelbarrow Profits Academy, MIH Mastermind and Women In Real Estate (WIRE).
