All my plans for the future felt clouded with uncertainty. But I kept pushing forward, trusting that with hard work, dedication, and openness to opportunity, I would find my way.

 

My parents instilled in me the value of hard work. My dad built a successful trenching and excavating business, and my mom became a top producer in direct sales. I grew up showing horses and was competing on the national circuit by the time I was fourteen. That took discipline, early mornings, and a lot of responsibility, but I loved it. My parents showed me that if you commit and put in the work, you can achieve anything. I’ve always carried that with me, and I’ve been lucky to have a strong support system behind me.

 

After the pandemic, I was set on going to Arizona State University, but something inside told me to stay closer to home. At the same time, I knew I didn’t want to stay in Nebraska. A close friend, Sam, invited me to stay with her family in Green Bay while I figured things out. So, I packed up my car and left.

 

In Green Bay, I leaned on my work ethic to keep moving forward. I took on whatever jobs I could—Starbucks in the mornings, restaurant shifts at night, and nannying during the day. Anything to stay afloat while I figured out what came next. Eventually, I enrolled at Fox Valley Tech to study interior design.

 

Then another door opened.

 

Through nannying, I met Brynn. We clicked immediately, and even after I stopped watching her kids, we stayed close. She became one of the most important people in my life and ended up being the connection that changed everything. She introduced me to Jared and Mike, two investors looking for someone to help with their real estate projects. They told me that if I got my license, they’d have work ready for me. That was all I needed to hear!

 

I got licensed, joined them, and jumped in. It wasn’t easy. I was still working multiple jobs and finishing school while trying to build a real estate career. There were months I didn’t know if it would pay off. But I kept going, kept learning, and kept saying yes to every opportunity in front of me.

 

Now, just a few years later, I’ve built a business I’m proud of. I still work with Jared and Mike on investment properties and new construction, and I’ve built my own client base. I began growing my team in early 2025, which has made me even more excited for what is ahead. I’ve also started investing in my own properties and look forward to growing that side of the business as well.

 

None of this would have been possible without the people in my life who believed in me. My parents have always been my greatest supporters. Sam’s parents welcomed me with open arms when I needed stability the most. Brynn recognized potential in me and opened a door I might never have discovered on my own. Jared and Mike took a leap of faith in me long before I knew anything about real estate. Each of them plays a part in shaping the professional I am today.

 

What I’ve learned is that if you work hard, stay open, and treat people well, the right opportunities will come. When I think back to those early days of uncertainty during the pandemic, I never could have imagined where I’d end up. But I’m proud of what I’ve built—and even more excited for what’s next.

 

If I'm not showing houses, writing a contract, or enjoying the Green Bay social life, you can find me at the local dog park with Mayzie and Wren, or at a nearby equestrian competition with my horse, Ruby!

 

Real estate has opened the door to so many opportunities in my life, and I genuinely love helping others discover what’s possible for them. With a degree in interior design, I love helping clients see the potential in a space. That includes preparing a home to list, helping buyers plan upgrades, and working closely with investors and new construction developments to design layouts and select finishes. This experience has sharpened my ability to assess value, maximize budgets, and guide clients through both creative and strategic decisions. From guiding first-time homebuyers through the process to helping investors find the right property or developers secure the right piece of land, I bring experience across a broad range of real estate needs.

 

Clear communication and strong project management are at the core of how I work. I keep clients informed through every step, making sure timelines stay on track and nothing falls through the cracks. By staying organized and proactive, I help create a smooth, low-stress experience from start to finish. My goal is always to earn trust, not just by delivering results, but by showing up consistently and being someone clients can count on before, during, and long after the sale!

 

Sincerely,
