Some people know every street in a town because they’ve studied a map.
I know them because they helped shape my life.
I grew up in Glen Ellyn, raised my family in Wheaton, and have spent decades helping buyers and sellers throughout Chicago’s western suburbs. These aren’t simply communities I work in—they’re the places that shaped who I am and the places I’m fortunate to still call home.
Real estate has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I learned the business from my parents, who worked together as a successful real estate team and taught me early that the best real estate relationships are built on integrity, hard work, and putting people before transactions.
I began my own real estate career in the 1990s, and over the years my experience has extended well beyond buying and selling homes. My background includes residential sales, new construction, renovation, marketing, staging and design—experience that gives me a unique perspective when preparing a home for market, recognizing potential in a property, and helping clients make smart decisions.
What I enjoy most is helping people through life’s transitions—buying a first home, finding the place where a family will put down roots, selling a longtime home filled with memories, or right-sizing for a new chapter. Every home has a story, and every move is personal. I believe my job is to understand both.
As the wife of a veteran, supporting those who serve our communities and country is especially meaningful to me. I’m proud to be an accredited Military on the Move® real estate professional with Baird & Warner, helping eligible military members, veterans, and first responders access benefits available through the program when buying or selling a home.
After all these years, what I love about real estate hasn’t really changed. It’s the people, the homes, the neighborhoods, and the relationships that often continue long after the closing.
Local roots. Five-star service. And a genuine love for the communities I’m fortunate to call home.
