Real Estate Agent Bio

I was raised in Portage, Michigan by two wonderful immigrant parents from the Netherlands. After graduating from Michigan State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design, I worked in sales in the home furnishings industry. Eventually, i

t became obvious to me that I was ready for a change. Because gardening is a passion of mine, I decided to start a gardening business. After 13 years of loving and growing my gardening business the time had come for me to sell the business and move on. I took a few years off to enjoy being a mother and some “me” time and decided I was not ready to be “retired.” Considering all the things that I enjoy, I realized real estate would be my next calling and Coldwell Banker seemed to be the perfect fit for me! I truly feel that real estate is a lifetime endeavor and have found it immensely rewarding and gratifying to assist people with their real estate needs and dreams. I believe in giving back to my community and volunteer at the Kids Food Basket. Additionally, I am on the parent board for my son's high school, Culver Academies in Indiana. I also helps out when I can at my younger son's school. I have lived in the Grand Rapids area of Michigan for 28 years and service the Greater Grand Rapids area to the lakeshore. I also delight in sharing what the beautiful Michigan area lifestyle has to offer my clients with my local knowledge and expertise; which include a multitude of outdoor activities offering gorgeous nature trails and parks for walking, hiking and biking together with boating, fishing and skiing along with wonderful dining, boutique shopping and events, activities and outdoor music concerts are a must in Michigan in the summer too! I also likes to share that I enjoy spending time with my family and our dogs and I have a dedicated husband who is an incredibly supporting man and father of two magnificent boys. We love to travel, fish, ski and love on our dogs. The Coldwell Banker Schmidt Realtor Brand is like nothing else. It is recognized as a top brand in the real estate industry internationally. In my office, I am backed by a solid group of people that are true professionals in the industry, and are always around to assist when needed. My client's happiness is my number one goal. I strives to do everything I can to help anybody. I am honest and hard working with high integrity and enjoy having fun, but also know when it's time to get to work. Let me assist you with selling or buying your home, land for building, waterfront vacation home, investment property or luxury estate and discover the unique lifestyle, natural beauty and delightful climate that Michigan has to offer.

Serves 12

Ingredients:
• 1 egg
• ½ cup flour
• ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 teaspoons dried parsley or thyme
• (1) 8-ounce goat cheese log
• Olive oil, for frying
• 1 cup balsamic vinegar
• 12 premade slider patties
• 1 cup raspberries, smashed
• 12 slider-sized buns

Instructions:
1. Line up three small bowls for dredging. In the first bowl, gently whisk an egg. In another bowl, add in the flour, and in the last bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, onion powder, and parsley or thyme.
2. Remove the goat cheese log from the fridge, and cut into 1-inch discs. Add about 2 inches of oil to a sauté pan, and bring to medium-high heat.
3. Bread the goat cheese by coating each piece in flour, then egg, and, flour, egg, and then breadcrumbs. Place gently into the sauté pan, and fry until golden brown. Remove from the pan, and place on a paper towel to dry some of the grease.
4. In a small saucepan, bring the balsamic vinegar to a boil, and reduce until thickened.
5. Season the patties, if desired, and then grill for three minutes per side. While the patties are grilling, use a fork to smash the raspberries in a small bowl. Once the burgers are done, place each slider onto a bun, and top with the fried cheese, smashed raspberries, and balsamic reduction.
