Education
Saint Cloud State University Kaplan Professional School Fast Start Training (Coldwell Banker Burnet)
My Background
I grew up in Greenville, South Carolina with my mom, stepdad, three brothers, and sister. I moved around a lot growing up, which is when I began to love houses. My family was always buying and selling houses, and ever since then I’ve been very excited about them. Four years ago, I decided to move to Saint Cloud, Minnesota to attend college and be closer to my dad’s side of the family. Many people wonder why I left such a beautiful and warm place for Minnesota, but I truly love the healthy atmosphere and community feel here. The warm-hearted people of Minnesota make it a wonderful state to live in. My dad is one of thirteen kids, so I also have a very large family here.
