As a small business owner, she enjoys event planning, networking, and sponsoring various initiatives geared towards youth scholarship programs. In 2019, she was selected as a host committee member by the Young Atlanta Council (YAC) to organize a youth scholarship fundraising event hosted by former Mayor, Keisha Lance Bottoms, which raised over $70,000 to send high school seniors to college. Over the years, she has developed a strong passion for creating unique customer experiences and has a knack for interior design and home staging. Growing up, her Saturday afternoons were spent with her mother visiting open houses for home décor inspiration. Her own home buying experience helped inspire her to awaken her true passion and start a career as a Licensed Real Estate Professional. She is now a member of the Atlanta REALTORS® Association under Norman & Associates. Jarica’s motto is “Happy Girls are the Prettiest” by Audrey Hepburn, which she lives by day-to-day to ensure her clients have a happy and pleasant home buying experience.
