MyStory
I was born and raised in the Western Suburbs and spent my formative years in Downers Grove and Oak Brook, where my parents still reside today. I have been a resident of Oak Park since 2001, where I live with my husband, two sons, and big dog! I am very familiar with a broad range of Chicago’s Western Suburbs and I have represented buyers and sellers in Oak Park, River Forest, Elmhurst, Glen Ellyn, Downers Grove, Western Spring, Berwyn, and Riverside, and am well versed in many other of Chicago’s Western Suburbs .
For my undergraduate education I attended The University of Chicago where I earned my B.A. in Anthropology. My training as a Socio-Cultural Anthropologist gives me a keen understanding of how demographics and trends affect the real estate market. I also attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where I developed my skills as an oil painter and cultivated an eye for detail, beauty, and harmony in composition. I still oil paint in my spare time and donate my works for charity auctions. Before becoming a Realtor I worked as an educator and earned a Masters in Education from DePaul University, these experiences have made me acutely aware of the value that a good school can bring to a community and the residential housing market.
I feel that my unique combination of skills and interests makes me a desirable representative in any real estate transaction.
