Hi.

My Story

My Purpose:

​

At 14 years old, I stood in a forgotten estate sale with my mom and picked up a dusty cardboard box. Inside were 64 handwritten letters from Franklin D. Roosevelt — spanning his journey from Governor to President — letters that would later pay for my college at NYU. That experience shaped my life and opened my eyes to the value — not just monetary, but emotional and historical — that live in people’s families and in their homes.

​

Families deserve dignity, respect, and expert guidance during some of the most emotional transitions of their lives. After years of working as a paramedic and being married to an Atlanta Fireman, my heart was already with people in crisis — and estate sales became an extension of that mission.

​

I didn’t just want to run estate sales — I wanted to elevate the industry. I became a founding member of NESA (National Estate Sale Association), advocating for standards like liability and worker’s comp to protect both families and small business employees.

​

I grew from a two-woman team with my mom to a staff of 21, many of whom have stayed with me for over a decade. We’ve created a family atmosphere where training, trust, and loyalty thrive. I love my team and prioritize their well-being — because they’re the heart of what I do. I consider myself a “Small Business Mother”, since I could not have children.

​

In 2024, while preparing for another estate sale, I suffered a retinal detachment. That one moment led to five surgeries, permanent blindness in my right eye, and a long, painful recovery. During my recovery, I was required to lie face down for hours after every surgery, I asked myself, “What is my true purpose?” The answer was clear: to help people. That question reshaped my future and became the seed for my new business, Love & Labels.

​

Now, I’m launching Love & Labels, a senior and specialty move management company that goes beyond selling things — we help older adults downsize, move with dignity, stage new spaces, clear out clutter, and even plan their end-of-life wishes. “The Doulas” will be an addition that is there to ask the hard questions families don’t want to — ensuring wishes are known, plans are in place, and burdens are eased.

​

At the core of my work is community. We’ve wrapped 500+ gift bags for Roswell nursing homes, donated thousands of coats and blankets to those living on the streets of Atlanta, and even delivered hot meals made by our staff’s families. I take my team to charity events to instill the joy of giving — because giving is contagious.

​

When people are overwhelmed and grieving, we step in with compassion, organization, and heart. Whether it’s organizing a cluttered basement or gently clearing out a home after a loss of a loved one, we do it with care.

​

What makes me different? Even after losing vision in one eye, I’ve never lost sight of my purpose. I’ve turned a deeply personal health crisis into an even deeper professional calling. I’ve grown a trusted business, built a loyal team that feels like family, and created new services that solve real, urgent problems for our aging population.

​

My story began with a $5 box of presidential letters. It continues with every family we help, every senior we move with grace, every caregiver we support, and every hard conversation we help facilitate.

I don’t believe in just doing business — I believe in doing good. This is what sets us apart.
