I started out in retail at the age of 15 on the floor at Upton's - if anyone remembers that store! From there, I went on to work in other retail organizations but primarily in cosmetics: Lancôme, Tony and Tina, Paula Dorf, and Origins (to name a few).
In college, I obtained by BA in International Relations (2004) and shortly thereafter, became a licensed Realtor (2005). Although I continued to work as a Realtor until 2016, I decided to go to law school at Georgia State College of Law in 2011. My areas of passion was international business; I had one internship in London and another in Dubai in the international business arena, but my heart wouldn’t let me leave Atlanta.
International business law doesn't really have a strong place in Atlanta and so I went back to what I knew best - real estate. I started my legal career in real estate law as a closing attorney. As time went on, I decided that I wanted to create something different than what I had seen in the industry over the last 11+ years as a Realtor.
I started Blue Ink Title on a whim with a lot of faith and determination, in 2016. After 6 successful years as a legal entrepreneur, in April 2022, I merged my law practice with Ganek PC, a larger real estate closing firm that has been in business for over 45 years.
I was ready to pursue another venture, although I was not quite sure what exactly it would be. I knew the best parts of creating Blue Ink Title was in the creation process - the startup part, although stressful, was what I loved most. And then, on New Years Eve (Jan 1, 2023), it was there - a bottle of Flora. :)
