The Short Story:

Real Estate Aficionado. Coffee Lover. Soccer Mom. Townie.

The Full Story:

With nearly 20 years of experience and over $130 million in sales, I take pride in delivering seamless, stress-free real estate experiences. As a Madison County native and SIUE alum, I have deep roots in the community and a strong understanding of the local market.

Expertise:

I specialize in residential real estate, relocations, first-time buyers, move-up buyers, and real estate investing—serving Edwardsville, Glen Carbon, Maryville, Troy, Bethalto, and surrounding communities.

Beyond Real Estate:

When I’m not helping clients, I’m cheering on my kids at soccer games, spending time with family and friends, or investing in real estate myself. I’m also passionate about giving back to our community, proudly supporting JSC of Ed/Glen, Edwardsville Neighbors, and many other local organizations. I serve as part of the fiduciary network for Front Office, a local financial planning firm, and have assisted in organizing Partners for Pets’ and SIUE’s annual charitable events.

Whether you're buying, selling, or exploring your options, I’d love to be your trusted real estate resource. Let’s make your next move the best one yet!
