Tonya began her professional career as an educator. Upon getting a master’s degree in
Educational Policy & Administration from the University of Minnesota, she worked in the
Prince George’s County School System in Maryland. She quickly realized traditional
education wasn’t her destined space and ventured into the arena of real estate. She
became a Broker/co-owner of a residential real estate business with two offices in North
Carolina. After the 2008 market crash, her company was able to navigate the turbulent
waters and was awarded a contract listing government foreclosed properties. She was
instrumental in her market for educating agents on how to sell HUD properties. Today
she holds a real estate license in NC & Georgia.
Tonya was introduced to multi-level marketing and joined because of her love for travel
in 2007. Not only was she able to build a sizeable team, yielding a 6-figure residual
income part-time, she also developed the skills of booking travel. She earned a CLIA
(Cruise Lines International Association) certification and helped many book their dream
vacations. It was her passion for educating/empowering others she attributes to the
growth of her business and team.
Tonya is a self-proclaimed travel enthusiast. Some of her favorite destinations have
been Maldives, Mykonos & Santorini (Greece), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) and Dubai/Ahbu
Dhabi and Sedona (Arizona). Regardless of the destination, her most favorite place is
wherever she can spend time with family and friends. ‘Life is what you have,
LIFESTYLE is how you choose to live it’ has been her mantra. She is strategic in
designing her own lifestyle and is passionate about helping others do the same through
travel and business.
Tonya has never abandoned her love for education. She continues to educate and
mentor others in the areas of real estate, mindset and entrepreneurship. She is a John
C. Maxwell certified trainer and life-long learner.
