I found my way into real estate after working as a transaction coordinator in Hawaii, but the real turning point came when my family PCS’d to Scott AFB and we bought our first home here. The experience wasn’t necessarily stressful or confusing, but it lacked the clear and consistent communication that every buyer deserves. I walked away knowing the process could be so much smoother with the right guidance. That’s when I decided I wanted to be the kind of agent who brings clarity, education, and steady support to families navigating one of the biggest decisions of their lives.

 

To me, a home is far more than four walls and a mortgage payment. It’s a safe haven. It’s the place where memories take root, where you bring home your first child or finally get the dog your rental never allowed. It’s where you exhale, grow, and feel most like yourself. Helping people reach that place, whatever it looks like for them, is what truly lights me up.

 

I believe education is the foundation of confidence, so I make sure my clients understand what is happening and why at every step. They’re always in the driver’s seat; I’m simply in the passenger seat offering direction, support, and steady guidance. Clear communication and thoughtful education are my signature, and I’m proud that clients feel more prepared and empowered because of it.

 

Even though I’ve lived in different states, the Metro East feels like home. I grew up in the Chicago suburbs, so being near St. Louis gives me that perfect mix, close enough to enjoy the city’s energy, its zoo, sports, and incredible food, but far enough away to avoid the daily hustle. I love the sense of community here and the small businesses that make this area feel so full of life. It’s a place where people chase dreams, raise families, and truly settle in, and I’m grateful to be part of that story.

 

 

My approach to real estate is grounded in education, transparency, and calm, steady guidance. I want my clients to feel confident at every step, which is why I take time to explain not just what is happening, but why it matters. Whether we’re reviewing an inspection report, preparing an offer, or navigating a PCS timeline, you’ll always have clear expectations and a full understanding of each decision. You set the pace, and I tailor the process to your needs, your timing, and your comfort level.

 

What sets me apart is a blend of personal experience and professional strategy. Having lived through a PCS myself, I understand the pressures and emotions behind a move, and I use that perspective to support clients in a way that feels grounded and relatable. I’m able to break down complex steps into something simple and manageable, and when challenges arise, I stay calm and think creatively to find solutions that work for everyone involved. I often tell my clients that they’re in the driver’s seat and I’m in the passenger seat giving directions offering guidance, clarity, and reassurance while keeping them in control of their own journey.

 

When a transaction closes, my biggest hope is that my clients walk away feeling proud. Homeownership is a major milestone and deserves to be celebrated. My goal is for every client to look at their new home and know that they made this accomplishment happen, and that I was honored to walk alongside them through it.
