The quintessential start to her day is getting in a workout followed by a cold plunge before the crack of dawn. Real estate is the number one wealth-building asset in the United States. Falling in love with the industry at age 13 ignited her passion.

This young businesswoman is a true living example and proof that it’s possible to run a successful business and have a happy home life.
