Huntsville was recently ranked the 4th most prosperous city and one of the best places for career building opportunities. Why do you think Huntsville is so unique for younger career seeking individuals and entrepreneurs?

Huntsville’s community is so diverse with several colleges, industries and job
options. I believe there is unique pride and ownership in being a Huntsvillian. This
prideful community is very invested in supporting its local business, entrepreneurs
and career up and comers.

How is your experience unique in your field, and what are you doing personally to innovate and produce change in your field?

My experience is unique because I don’t have a background in Real Estate. I started at Matt Curtis after 5 years as a District Manager for a retailer – my specialty is people and problem solving. I enjoy helping my team perform at their best. I’m more focused on learning what we as a team can do, where we want to be and then bridging any gaps.

What is the best place in town to hang out in your free time?

I don’t have a local spot yet! We enjoy exploring all of the new places that are opening in town.
