She had her daughter in 2008 and 2 months later received her bachelor of arts in Communication. JoLea decided to stay home with her new baby as long as she could. She only lasted a few years as a stay-at-home mom. JoLea went back to school and earned her teaching certificate. In her second year of teaching JoLea gave birth to her son. The birth of her son brought on new challenges that she never imagined she would have to face. Her son has an extremely rare genetic disorder as well as autism. This led JoLea to change careers once again. Working in education was fulfilling but she really needed to be more available for her children. JoLea used the time she was stuck at home because of the COVID shutdown to obtain her real estate license. A career in Real estate was always something that she wanted to pursue and would also allow her the flexibility that she requires for her children. During her free time, JoLea enjoys cooking, doing home projects, and brunching with family. She might not have a lot of free time but when she does, she takes full advantage. JoLea treats everyone like family and loves collecting new friends. Her favorite part of real estate is meeting new people and helping them reach their goals.
