Life is meant to be experienced rather than just watch it pass by. I will always be a student of the world around me!
My work history is filled with sales and project management experience including a construction background and being a full-time Realtor since 2004. I have been an NAR Instructor since 2011, and am certified as one of the nation's Bias Override Instructors. NAR designations, certifications and endorsements include: ABR, AHWD, C2EX, CRS, GREEN, GRI, PSA, SFR, SRES, SRS in addition to the Special Needs Specialist Certification Course. It has been my honor to serve on committees and the Board of Directors at the local, state and national Realtor association level since joining the real estate industry in March 2004. In 2024, I served as the Saint Paul Area Association of Realtors (SPAAR) Board of Directors President, MNR Professional Development Committee Chair and Board of Directors Member, and NAR Housing Opportunities Committee Member and Level 3 Grant Task Force Member. In 2026, my industry service includes SPAAR's Community Engagement Committee, SPAAR Committee for DEI, SPAAR's Charitable Foundation Board of Directors, MNR Board of Directors, MNR Executive Committee, MNR Sustainability Committee, MNR Professional Standards, Chair of NAR Housing Opportunities Committee, NAR Smart Growth Advisory Board, NAR Sustainability Advisory Group , NAR Public Policy Coordinating Committee, and Edina Realty's Diversity and Inclusion Leadership Team and Ambassador.
Time away from my real estate business is often spent with family and friends, traveling to a new destination, exploring the outdoors with my camera, teaching classes and volunteering with numerous community organizations. Since December 2017, I have been a breast cancer survivor and my faith has grown stronger along this journey called life.
I look forward to creating more exciting memories ahead and continuing to give back to the real estate industry!
