I was born and raised in Fairmont, a small town in very southern Minnesota. I moved to Mankato in 2004 while attending Minnesota State University-Mankato. After graduating with a Bachelors in Psychology in 2007 I settled in Mankato. I love the Mankato and Southern Minnesota area and believe it is great place to call home! I enjoy spending time with family and friends, gardening, antiquing, remodeling homes, working on small craft projects, dirt track racing, and generally being outdoors. I am a dog lover and mom, with an extremely spoiled Lakeland terrier at home. My passion for real estate emerged during my own home search. The number of decisions, choices and questions I had was overwhelming! I realized it's extremely important for buyers or sellers to have good support and communication with their agent during this sometimes confusing process. Since my first home in 2011, I've gained experience as realtor, property manager and am avid real estate investor myself. I've got a wide range of experience and knowledge to draw upon and can help you no matter what your real estate goals are. I take pride in treating my clients the way I would expect to be represented, and always being able to provide or find an answer for my clients.I have refined my skills as a professional and am a driven, honest, knowledgeable, and attentive person. I want to know and understand your needs and wants. I continue to educate myself about the real estate industry and all of the changes so, when you chose to work with me, you know you're getting the best service possible. With my skills, education, and experience I can help guide you successfully through the buying or selling process. I am committed & excited to share in this process with you!
