I grew up in Willoughby, Ohio and graduated from Willoughby South High School.  From there I went to Kent State University, where I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education.  After graduation, I returned to Lake County and spent 13 years teaching Kindergarten at a local parochial school.  After taking some time off start my family, I decided to pursue a career in real estate.

My teaching background uniquely prepared me for a career in real estate because it allows me to educate people in the buying and/or selling of a home.  I truly have a passion for helping people. Working with my clients and helping them to fulfill their real estate needs is what inspires me.  Purchasing and/or selling a home is high on the list of stressful things to do, and I want to ease the stress for my clients and to help them to realize their dreams.
