From Behind the Scenes to Account Executive: My Journey of Growth and Gratitude at Proper Title

Love Your Passion

In all my years working at various title companies, I never imagined I would be where I am today—both in mindset and in title. I never thought I had what it took to work in Sales or to represent a well-respected company. For years, I worked behind the scenes, ensuring that everything got done, no matter the cost. I embraced the motto, “Knowledge is power,” and I still live by it today.

Early in my career, I was known for being helpful, proactive, and willing to learn. When no one offered guidance, I took the initiative to ask questions, learn the process, and figure out how to get the job done. That curiosity and willingness to learn gave me a sense of purpose and built the foundation for my growth. Over time, I realized I wanted more. I wanted a role where my contributions mattered and where I could grow.

That opportunity came with Proper Title, where I now proudly serve as an Account Executive. I’ve learned so much from everyone here, and I am especially grateful to Kim O’Donnell, Executive Vice President of Business Development, and Michele Clement, Director of Title Services. Their mentorship and guidance have given me the courage and knowledge to step into my confidence, conquer the fear of rejection, and keep moving forward—even when someone isn’t interested.

One year has flown by, and I am busier than ever—making calls, following up with current and new clients, and meeting incredible people. My journey has taught me to know my worth and never sell myself short, because not everyone will value it. I also learned the power of kindness: the attorneys, agents, brokers, and lenders I helped early on have now become some of my best clients.

To the Proper Title family: thank you for welcoming me and allowing me to grow in the best company to work for. My goal for 2026 is to continue building on this momentum, to be even better than last year, and to keep serving my clients with excellence, knowledge, and heart.
