Broker Owner
I am a dedicated mother, a former mortgage loan processor, a Realtor®, and a proud real estate broker-owner. My passion extends beyond my profession into my community, where I actively volunteer. I am an avid podcast listener and cherish being a good friend. I take great pleasure in managing and training successful agents in my own brokerage. I love listening to motivational audiobooks and exploring the growth and historical value of Jacksonville, my beloved city.
Residing in Jacksonville, Florida, with my children, I am a broker-owner of a boutique real estate brokerage. My specialty lies in mentoring new agents, equipping them with the skills to thrive in any market conditions. I take pride in serving diverse clients, including first-time homebuyers, military and retirement relocations, new construction, and sellers in various situations. Beyond real estate, I am passionate about discipleship and sharing personal testimonies of God's faithfulness to inspire hope and transformation in others. In my free time, I am dedicated to empowering individuals to share their stories, spreading God's Word, and witnessing the impact of Jesus' love. I find joy in hearing the stories of struggle and triumph from the families I work with, and I consider it a privilege to be a part of their journeys.

The Legend Behind the Legacy
In 1998, when I was 15 years old, my family moved from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, to the United States. I attended UNF and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in 2010. After graduating, I spent 15 years working in the mortgage industry, during which time I helped nearly 3,000 families with financing purchases and refinances of their homes. In 2017, I began my real estate career, driven by a desire to establish my own financial independence and help others do the same. Having purchased and sold many different homes, from historic to new builds, I am a strong believer in the American Dream of home ownership. I am honored to work enthusiastically on behalf of my clients and delighted to be their forever agent.
Since 2017, I have made it my mission to be an expert in all areas of Jacksonville. I am familiar with the up-and-coming areas of town and many new construction sites. I specialize in first-time home ownership, assisting people with credit restoration needs, and helping clients understand the crucial role home ownership plays in building generational wealth and a lasting family legacy. I also focus on referrals from colleagues and real estate investment properties.
I am motivated to help people find their perfect home and ensure the experience is as positive as possible and I am passionate about empowering families to build long-term financial success through home ownership. Let me help you find your perfect home and contribute to building your family's legacy!
