About Me

Why do I care so deeply about helping everyday business owners and investors?

Because I’ve seen firsthand what’s at stake.

After nearly a decade practicing business and commercial real estate law, I began my journey toward what has now become my life’s passion. Time and time again, I witnessed the disastrous consequences of poor space decisions. The kind of mistakes that weren’t just inconvenient but catastrophic. Business owners getting booted from their spaces, sometimes leading to bankruptcy. The common thread? A lack of a skilled, business-minded advocate and decisions made based on emotions rather than economics.

I’ll never forget how many people fell in love with a space without understanding the true costs or risks. If only they’d had someone to guide them—someone to paint the full picture of the space’s suitability and financial impact—maybe things would have turned out differently.

Over the years, I also came to realize just how much “insider” information and inventory were hidden from small business owners. I saw how my own family—my husband’s law firm and even my in-laws with their businesses—suffered from uninformed decisions about space. It fueled a fire in me to change that narrative. I developed a system that empowers my clients, helping them make better decisions and setting them up for long-term success.

There’s nothing quite like seeing a client open their first space. But the real magic happens when they take that next leap—joining the commercial real estate investor class and building a portfolio. Helping entrepreneurs see the fruits of their hard work, creating freedom for themselves and their families, never gets old.

So, what’s next for Beyond Commercial? By growing our team of entrepreneurial advisors, we aim to make an even bigger impact in the Central Florida community and beyond. Our mission is to continue empowering business owners, one confident space decision at a time.

Let’s keep building something extraordinary, together.
