I was born in Minneapolis. My parents were raised in SE Minneapolis and moved to NE Minneapolis when I was still very young. Here they raised me and my younger sister Megan with strong family values and taught us the value of hard work and determination. 
 
I graduated from Edison High School in 1992.  I went to college and received my associates degree in Accounting.  I worked as an accountant/bookkeeper for a few years.  I was good at it, but I didn't care for it much.  I wanted a more satisfying job.
 
I was licensed for real estate sales in 1996. I spent my first 2 years as a Realtor at Edina Realty in Brooklyn Park Minnesota. In spring of 1998 I decided to leave Edina Realty and join up with Century 21 Midwest in New Brighton Minnesota (which is now Realty World Midwest in St. Anthony) where I still am today. I am a member of the St. Paul area Association of Realtors (SPAAR), the Minnesota Association of Realtors (MAR) and the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Along with having a Realtor designation for belonging to these associations I also have the GRI designation (Graduate Realtor Institute). I professionally represent both buyers and sellers with great effiency and customer care.  I am a true professional who cares about my clients. I am there for my clients every step of the way putting my experience to work for them.
