Her foray into house renovating began in 2008 when she and her daughter renovated a house during her spare time through the help of the video streaming platform YouTube. Upon the successful renovation of the house, she was intrigued by the work she did, hence, she decided to collaborate with her daughter to set up a house flipping company which they called Two Chicks and a Hammer thereby foregoing her career as a defense attorney.
