Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate Medley

Columbia

Age 31

With dual degrees in management and marketing and a minor in advertising from the University of South Carolina’s Darla Moore School of Business, I have built a career defined by entrepreneurship, relationships, and results. I began selling real estate while still in college and have since grown my business into one of Columbia’s leading residential real estate practices, with more than 500 properties sold and over $130 million in sales volume. My background in corporate sales, combined with my marketing expertise and deep knowledge of the Columbia market, have shaped a relationship-driven approach centered on trust, strategic guidance, and exceptional client service. Beyond real estate, I am passionate about entrepreneurship and business growth. I am a co-owner of Carolina Fence Group and 1-800 Striper of Columbia, expanding my experience into the construction and commercial service industries. Across each venture, I bring the same focus on strong relationships, operational excellence, and creating long-term value. I am deeply invested in my community. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and son, traveling, and making memories at Pawleys Island and on the water. I remain actively involved in my church and the Columbia community.
