My current brokerage practice is focused on corporate services, providing real estate consultation to public and private entities. One of my largest accounts is the local transportation entity, the Jacksonville Transportation Authority. I manage both their surplus disposition efforts and their acquisition strategy. Their portfolio is valued at over $30 million. I provide a wide range of services, including but not limited to property sales, property acquisition, market analysis, lease analysis, government affairs and general market intelligence. I am frequently involved with executive level discussions and interact with their Board regularly. Additionally, I represent the St. Vincent’s Hospital Ministry for Ascension Health here locally. I manage dispositions, acquisitions and their income and expense leasing activities. My largest national account is Torchmark/Liberty National. I work with their Director of Real Estate to identify new office space for their insurance brokers across the country.

In addition to my traditional real estate practice, I have been successful in assisting numerous cannabis related businesses with their real estate requirements (dispensaries, grow & manufacturing facilities) here in Florida, as well as coordinating with other Colliers offices in Oregon, Colorado and California.

I am a native born JacksonvillIian. I attended Stanton College Preparatory School before graduating from Florida State University in 1997 with a B.S. in Political Science. After school, I moved to Washington, D.C. to begin a career in politics. After stops in multiple Congressional offices, the Republican National Committee, FEMA and a government affairs firm, I was given the opportunity to begin a career in real estate back home in Jacksonville in 2005. Working for a small development firm, we  developed 50,000+ square feet of Class A  office condominiums throughout Northeast Florida. I was the lead on bank and investor negotiations for investment capital and loan arrangements.

I was called to duty once more in D.C., taking a position as Executive Director of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Political Affairs Department from January 2012 until October 2014. I managed the program’s voter education campaigns and political intelligence gathering.

I joined Colliers International | Northeast Florida in 2016 as a Client Services Coordinator, bringing considerable experience and knowledge in project coordination, program support, and overseeing  logistics for special events. I have experience in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors.

In my role as Client Services Specialist, I provide dedicated support to a highly productive broker team and act as the point person for the client services team. I am responsible for helping to create and develop content for proposals and presentations, property tour preparation, proactive marketing campaigns and team business development strategies. 

As a Client Services Coordinator, I created high-quality, engaging marketing materials to grab attention and convey property information. I was responsible for the design and maintenance of customized property marketing brochures, e-mail blasts, and marketing packages for eight agents.

Prior to joining Colliers, I worked in a variety of fields. I began my career in Chicago at a young marketing agency specializing in automotive owner loyalty and special event programs. I then provided sales support at Outer Circle Products, manufacturer of Arctic Zone soft-sided coolers and lunch kits. 

After moving to Seattle, I worked in promotions at classic rock radio station KZOK-FM. Subsequent years were spent developing a community relations plan for Seattle Credit Union; fundraising for the Muscular Dystrophy Association; in project coordination at Messier-Dowty, working on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner program; and as Training Materials Manager at Behavioral Tech.

Since relocating to Northeast Florida in 2011, I have managed a residential real estate office and served as a Major Gifts Coordinator at Wounded Warrior Project. 

I hold an active real estate license and am a notary public.
