What do you like best about what you do? I love helping people and this career allows me to help people reach their real estate potential. I love seeing the excitement when a family/client walks into a home and they just fall in love with it and then the realization that it can be theirs. It means I’ve fulfilled my promise to my clients.
What sets your business apart from others in the same field?
At Fidelis Realty, the relationships that we grow with our clients last well beyond the closing. Everyone in our office is very knowledgeable. As an Agent, I make it a point to always be straight forward with my clients. One
motto I like to live by in this business is “There are no problems only solutions.”
As a child, what did you dream of becoming when you grew up?
A veterinarian, a nurse, a teacher...I couldn’t make up my mind. I really just wanted to help others.
Tell us about one valuable lesson you learned along the way:
Follow your dreams. Don’t let anyone try to tell you that you can’t do something. Always TRY.

The First, A National Banking Association, Jackson County Market President 1126 Jackson Ave., Pascagoula, MS 1517 Bienville Blvd., Ocean Springs, MS 228.762.4442 www.TheFirstBank.com
What would you like our readers to know about your business? The First, ANBA is a community bank dedicated to the delivery of quality service to our customers. Management has organized a team of individuals with the expertise required to enhance their ability to make sound decisions that are beneficial to our customers and our stockholders.
What do you like best about what you do? Every day provides an opportunity to increase my knowledge and the ability to serve the needs of my customers. I truly love my career.
I have spent more than half of my life in banking and very fortunately within the same community. It has been my pleasure to serve the financial needs of my customers. I have developed
relationships that have expanded through the years and find myself serving not only those original families but expanding to serving
the financial needs of their children and grandchildren.
What sets your business apart from others in the same field? We are a family and although we are a billion- dollar financial institution, management has never lost sight of the fact that their employees are their most valuable resource. Our management is pro- active rather than re-active. They keep abreast of the many changes affecting our industry today and provide the tools and training necessary for our institution to meet the challenges mandated by government regulations.
