​TJ ​began her career as a home stag​er after ​helping find a new home for a friend, who was rejecting one property after another, even though it met all of his criteria. When he looked at the online photos, he couldn't see past the current owners clutter ​and outdated ​furnishings. ​It was ​then that ​TJ realized the value in home staging.

​TJ has since gone through extensive training and been certified by some of the best instructors in the industry. She is also a member of the Real Estate Staging Association, the International Association of Home Staging Professionals, and the American Society ​of Home Stagers and Redesigners.
