I have enjoyed being a Grand Rapids resident since 2000 when I moved here from the Eastside following my high school graduation to attend Cornerstone University. There I received my BA in Marketing while working as an intern at Prudential Preferred Realtor before the transition to Berkshire Hathaway Home Services. I gained invaluable knowledge and growth as a Realtor/Executive Assistant to a top agent. Wanting to put more of my marketing skills to work, I made a switch over to property management as the marketing director for a large company that represented hundreds of units where I went on to become the top leasing agent month after month, year after year.   Fast forward to 2016, I decided it was time to step back from an industry I loved to be home with our 2 amazing boys and make homemade baby food and go to library readings. Now that my youngest is starting kindergarten, it is time to get back to hanging with adults and I am thrilled to be on such a stellar team that exudes positivity, knowledge and excellence. The Brace Team is a natural fit!

On a personal note, my passions include all things food (cooking but mostly eating), physical fitness, getting lost in a good book, and 80s hair bands. My husband Jason and I have been married since 2009 and have built a wonderful life together: Started in a downtown condo where we walked to concerts and festivals then moved to suburbia where we started a family and a garden. Big change but equally awesome.
