After being born and raised near Chicago, I became a  Phoenix resident in 2004.  One of the first discoveries I made back then was the beautiful homes of the Sonoran desert, and I constantly watched the growth come. Suburbs flourished. The Phoenix core was rising. The Valley of the Sun was changing and housing was unique and fun. There is a home for everyone's tastes in Phoenix. Around the metro we have historic districts, suburban new homes, and in many cases mid-Century modern and classic Phoenix homes. I love being a part of it all and helping others search for their dream homes. I have worked with local buyers and sellers as well as clients from my native Illinois and other states. I believe in exceptional client service and know what it is like to relocate to the Valley of the Sun and also how to move within our metro area. This allows me to relate to locals as well as those moving to the desert. Years ago I watched my parents in Illinois and Arizona with successful careers in the same field.  I saw their love for the industry and learned their values of integrity and client service. I previously had spent time working in the new home sales industry and achieved top producer status and high client satisfaction ratings. Realizing I wanted to expand my horizons and represent clients in new homes and resale, I decided it was time to go into traditional real estate. I partnered up with Bart Mruz and we have achieved top rankings in sales at our previous brokerage. And in 2025 we joined Embarc Realty, which is a new sister company to Nebraska Realty, the brokerage where we also work in Nebraska.  My ultimate goal is to provide clients with a fantastic buying and/or selling experience and create everlasting relationships.  My knowledge encompasses selling urban living, new builds, historic homes, and luxury.
