Years of varied experience have led me to a successful and satisfying Real Estate career. One of my core values is helping people. I received my degree from the University of Illinois in Therapeutic Recreation with the intention of a career helping people with physical and developmental challenges, primarily in a rehabilitation setting. Upon graduation, with limited opportunities in my chosen field, I chose to utilize my education, which included a strong science background and my interests working with people in a career in Pharmaceutical Sales. Always a competitor, I knew it was a much sought after field which only fueled my desire to pursue it. I enjoyed close to ten years in the pharmaceutical industry and feel fortunate to have had world class sales training and experience in this challenging field. I enjoyed the challenge of always learning something new and developing relationships.  I successfully balanced career and family but with children growing quickly and feeling the need to focus on family, my husband and I created the opportunity to be an "at home mom". Any one who's experienced the term knows its an oxymoron because it's rare to be 'at home'. While my children were at school, I indulged in my passions and volunteered for many opportunities such as: Special Olympics, Park District Special Recreation, Girl Scouts, various board positions within the school district PTO (vice president, president, secretary), tutoring and finally part time employment as a Special Education Assistant. Once my children were starting high school in 2005, we decided I would begin a full time career again.

I wanted independence, flexibility and the opportunity to combine my sales experience with a career that would help people. Since our family has relocated several times, I know first hand the impact and importance for the whole family of moving and the dreams of finding the perfect home, as well as the up and downs of selling one.  I love the fact that this career is challenging: there's always more to learn and interesting people to work with. I truly enjoy the relationships developed along the way. This is a career that I look forward to every day!
