I help people buy, sell, and move forward at every stage of life, from first time buyers to families ready to rightsize. Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make. I grew up in Des Plaines, went to school at the University of Kansas where I earned my B.A. in Psychology and Human Development, and came back to Chicago for graduate school. I have two master's degrees

, one in Social Work from UIC and one in Educational Leadership from Chicago State University. I am also a licensed clinical social worker. I spent 20 years as a school social worker and special education administrator working across Buffalo Grove, Burbank, Maywood, and Cicero before making the move to real estate in 2015. I brought everything from that career with me. After graduate school I lived in Lincoln Park, Lakeview, and Logan Square. I have owned, rented, rehabbed, and sold property. I served on my condo board for years. I have worked in new construction. I know this city and its suburbs from the inside out, not just professionally but personally. I work with renters, first time buyers, people relocating to Chicagoland from anywhere in the world, families upsizing, and people ready to rightsize after decades in the same home. I hold the ABR designation as an Accredited Buyer's Representative, the SRES designation as a Senior Real Estate Specialist, and the CSA designation as a Certified Senior Advisor. Those are not just letters. They represent a real investment in understanding the people I work with at every stage of life. I work at Compass as a solo broker and am a member of Compass Plus, a specialized division of Compass dedicated to helping seniors navigate their next chapter. When you hire me, you get me. I am patient, calm, and steady in stressful situations. That is not a sales pitch. It is just what 20 years in social work looks like in practice. I volunteer at Gilda's Club Chicago and am a former board member of Esperanza Community Services. I am also part of Compass Cares Chicago. Giving back to this city is not something I do on the side. It is part of who I am. Outside of work I am a lifelong Cubs fan, a proud Jayhawk, a Pilates regular, a cook, a traveler, and a dog mom who misses Wrigley every day. If you are looking for someone who will show up for you, ask the right questions, and help you figure out what you actually need, I would love to connect.

I used to watch comments come in on my reels and think: I don’t have three extra hours to reply to all of these. So I’d answer a handful and the rest just sat there. Which meant the people taking time to engage with me got nothing back. That’s terrible for relationships. Real estate is relationships. So I switched things up. Now when someone comments, they get a real response that sounds like me, not a bot. Overnight, I’m handling 800 comments while I sleep. The people paying attention actually hear back. That changes everything.

Aging in place vs moving isn’t actually a real estate question. It’s about what daily life looks like one year, five years, ten years from now. The house is just where that question lands.

Staying put can be right. Moving can be right. But both require asking the hard questions before there’s a fall or a health scare, not after. That means getting honest about stairs, maintenance, isolation, and who’s actually doing the day-to-day work of keeping someone safe and connected.

The families I work with who navigate this best aren’t the ones who choose fastest. They’re the ones who stop arguing about the house and start talking about the actual person at the center of it.

Chicago and the suburbs both have real options here. An elevator building downtown. A single-story home in Naperville. What matters is matching the actual life to the actual home, not the other way around.

If your family is in the middle of this conversation, you don’t need a decision today. You just need to start asking the right questions. I’m here for that.

August was a lot. (The good kind of a lot.)

Cubs games and dinner with people I actually want to spend time with. A CSA conference where I got to sit in a room full of people who genuinely care about getting senior transitions right. Friends visiting from out of town and playing tour guide for the neighborhoods I actually love. Turned another year older and didn’t hate it. A family that closed on their new place and another that closed on theirs. And a listing that’s about to hit the market and already feels like the right fit for the right person.

This is the part where I’m supposed to say something motivational about balance, right? Honest take: there was no balance. Just a lot happening at once and somehow it all worked.

Grateful for all of it.

If you’re waiting for a sign to move to Chicago, this is it.

The thing about this city is that all three of these exist in the same day. The waterfront. The neighborhood streets. The skyline. Not as a highlight reel, but as your actual Tuesday.

The question is which one actually fits your life. Comment GUIDE.
