THIS IS MY STORY
My first passion in life was teaching middle school music. I did this for 16 years until I woke up one day and realized I hated children. (Come on now, I'm joking...kinda.) I wanted out so desperately that I chose an equally abusive industry and became a health insurance agent. I quickly climbed the corporate ladder for the next 5 years only to find I was halfway up the wrong ladder.
Forty(ish) and unhappy in my work life, I knew I needed a change.
In April of 2017, my husband, Vance, and I took a leap of faith and began Jolific Homes, our real estate investment business. We had amazing coaches along the way. I was able to quit Corporate America by the end of that year. My husband and I then created Jolific Properties as we built our rental portfolio. In 2020, we opened our own brokerage, The Acorn Agency which is an investor-friendly agency for realtors. Most recently, we created Jolific Construction, after Vance earned his general contractor's license.
I met amazing people throughout my journey with specific talents who taught me how to improve certain aspects of our businesses. As my knowledge from experiences grew, I found my passion reignite when I too, shared my talents. I wanted to create a platform where investors could share these superpowers within a network, sprinkled with a little bit of accountability, thus building confidence and credibility. I still have MUCH to learn so I created REIGN: Real Estate Investor Growth Network. It's a Virtual Mastermind with an interactive format because one person is never as smart as all the people in the room...or Zoom call...in our case.
