During her tenure as a GS-13 engineer with the federal government, Sandra had an unexpected illness. This was a life-changing, wake-up call because she was placed on leave without pay for two years. This fueled her motivation to pursue multiple streams of income because she thought she had the ultimate job security as a federal employee in engineering.

This was also a very scary experience because she carried the health insurance for her husband and daughters. Moreover, they still had a mortgage and living expenses and no one to turn to for help.

However, they were able to use their real estate investment skills to replace the income and build independent wealth.

Sandra has served on the board of her local Chamber of Commerce and is a popular motivational speaker on business, empowerment and personal success. Her goal is to be a life-time learner so she can fulfill her mission to learn, earn and return.

Sandra is a Christian, wife, mother, entrepreneur and author. She and Braz have been married over 40 years and have 3 beautiful daughters. She enjoys motivational speaking and has authored books, poems and skits. Sandra also enjoys reading, creative writing, and pickleball. She has been in Huntsville, Alabama since first grade.
