Beginning in 2017, Stephanie has since learned what it's like to be in the competitive world of Real Estate. Now motivated to succeed, Stephanie has not always known where she was meant to be. After graduating high school, she was determined to be the first in her family to go to college. She worked on the weekends, moved to Hartsville, SC from the small town of Bishopville to attend Coker College (now Coker University), and walked onto the Women's Soccer team. Realizing her grades were suffering, she had to give up playing soccer in order to support herself and stay in school. Still discovering who she was, she knew no matter what she had to stick with her plan to graduate. In 2011, she graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology with a Concentration in Counseling. Her passion was to try to help those who struggled with some of the same issues that she did. Even though she loved everything about Pschology and counseling, at the time it was difficult to find a job with this degree. She moved to Sumter and although she was content, there was always something missing. She knew she was capable of more, yet couldn't quite figure out what her calling was. She met her Broker in 2017 who would give her an opportunity. It may be difficult to see the correlation between the type of degree she obtained and real estate, but having the passion to help people is exactly the tool she needed to be successful in Real Estate. This career can be challenging, but for Stephanie she knows that this is only the beginning. Production does not matter to her. She wants to learn and be the best Agent she can be. She has big plans for her future and will not give up until she is her best self, of course with the understanding that every day is a new day to grow, learn, and strive for success.
