Who or what inspired you to pursue your current career?
It was truly a quest to heal my own pain and suffering that led me to this path of holistic healing. During
a soul retreat in South Florida, I experienced my first sound bath. It was an instant remembering. My spirit was at home and was one with these vibrations. From that moment, I began diving into sound and the energy body as well as the healing effects on the body as a whole: body, mind, and spirit. Now it’s my passion to share and bring awareness to these healing modalities and resources for mindful living with my community.

Who or what inspired you to pursue your current career?
Real estate is a business you can control to a certain degree. You can work with a small group of buyers and sellers or the sky is the limit. It is what you want to make of it as long as you do it right.
My greatest successes have been:
If I have done all I can to help someone and can lay my head down on my pillow with a good conscience, then it was successful.

OCEAN SPRINGS MERCANTILE
700 Washington Ave., Ocean Springs 228.493.8101 oceanspringsmercantile.com
What I like best about what I do is: I like meeting new people and connecting with my customers. But what I love about what I do is working with the girls that I work with. Without them, it wouldn’t be Ocean Springs Mercantile.
What moment from your life made the biggest impact on your career? When I managed a high-end couture boutique in Texas, I learned a bird’s eye view of retail. The women that I worked with gave me instruments to connect with my customers on a personal level, and inspired me to be the business owner that I am.
