After growing up in Dallas, Texas and wanting a change of scenery, Athen ventured off to Oklahoma State University where she graduated Cum Laude with a Major in Marketing and Minor in Entrepreneurship. During her time at school, Athen held multiple positions in her sorority and found one of her many passions was mentoring others and helping them become the most successful version of themselves. This is a passion she still practices today, now as an alumna chapter advisor for her sorority in Stillwater, and a Coach with the Non-profit organization, Girls On The Run, in Oklahoma City.

Post-graduation, Athen planted her roots in Oklahoma City and went on to work in Hospitality and Sales in the Wine Industry for 3 years. During her time as a Sales Consultant and statewide Grocery Division Key Account Manager, she learned invaluable skills such as superior customer service, client appreciation, and the importance of acting as a true market consultant to her stores. Athen has also earned the distinctions of a Certified Specialist of Wine and a Level I Certified Sommelier. Through the involvement of these certifications, Athen knows the value of being an expert in one's field and the importance of staying learning based. She fully plans to bring the same approach to her clients in real estate, acting as an expert and real estate specialist to all the families she works with.

Athen is most fulfilled when guiding and helping others, and through her past experiences as a mentor and a consultative salesperson, she will be committed and passionate in helping you and your family make the most well-informed decisions when it comes to the biggest financial sale or purchase of your life.

When Athen is not selling real estate or managing her various rental properties, she can be found on a run or working out, watching movies with her dogs at home, or cooking up something delicious with her husband, Garrett!
