Born and raised in the Northwest Indiana and Chicago, Illinois area, I have deep roots and a genuine love for the communities I serve. My passion for real estate began when I purchased my first home in Valparaiso, IN. The process was exciting, nerve-wracking, and ultimately one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. That experience inspired me to help others feel that same sense of excitement and accomplishment through homeownership. Before becoming a licensed Realtor®, I spent eight years as an office coordinator working alongside some of Northwest Indiana's most respected agents. That time allowed me to gain valuable insight into the industry and build a strong foundation in client service, marketing, and transaction management. Once I earned my real estate license, my dedication and drive quickly paid off. I was honored to receive the Rookie of the Year Award, celebrate a Million Dollar Month in sales, and closed my first year with over $3 million in production. My clients often become friends, and I pride myself on being available for them not only during a transaction but long after closing. Every client's situation is unique, and I'm committed to guiding each one through their real estate journey with honesty, care, and confidence. Whether they're first-time homebuyers, seasoned investors, flippers, upsizing, downsizing, or venturing into commercial properties. Every day in real estate is a new adventure, and I truly love the ever-changing landscape that comes with helping people achieve their goals. My mission is simple: to make your buying or selling experience as smooth, rewarding, and memorable as possible.
