I was born in Elmhurst, Illinois, but Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, has been home for as long as I can remember. As the youngest of six—by a pretty big gap—I had a bit of a unique upbringing. By the time I was five, my parents and I had settled into the Geneva Lakes area, while my siblings were off tackling college and adulthood. Despite growing up in different life stages, they’ve always been my biggest cheerleaders, supporting every dream and ambition I’ve chased. Growing up with older siblings taught me how to connect with people across generations—a skill that has influenced both my career and relationships in life and real estate. Their support (and a little sibling wisdom) has played a big role in shaping who I am today!

💳 Lauren – More than just my financial guru—she’s my lifelong role model. She encouraged me to get my first credit card at 18, setting me up for financial success, but her impact goes far beyond that. She’s thoughtful, detail-oriented, and always finds ways to make life feel special.
🎮 Terry – My Mario Kart rival! Always up for a game when I begged him to play. The hardest worker I know. He’s shown me that dedication and persistence open big opportunities. His relentless work ethic has shaped my own, teaching me the value of showing up, putting in the effort, and staying committed. ⛷️ Molly – The sister who showed me the power of perseverance. She sparked my love for skiing, and she and my siblings even bought me my first race skis—believing in me before I believed in myself. More than that, she’s shown me how to embrace change, reinvent myself, and push forward even when things get tough. 🚤 Matt – The sibling who fueled my passion for water sports! From wakeboarding to tubing, he made sure I loved being on the water. Taught me to embrace adventure and go all in—whether on the lake or in life. Oh, and he and his family let me live with them during part of my college years! 💻 Rob – Tech mentor! Made me my first Gmail in 4th grade (ensuring it was professional—thanks for that!). Introduced me to the digital world early on. Instilled in me the importance of critical thinking, attention to detail, and making well-informed choices. Always a great support, offering guidance and wisdom whenever I needed it. |
I grew up embracing everything this region has to offer—summers spent on the lake, winters carving down the Grand Geneva or Alpine Valley slopes—experiences that fostered a lifelong love for the area. While I’ve maintained strong ties to Elmhurst and the greater Chicagoland area, where most of my family still resides and where I pursued my college education, my heart is equally at home in the Geneva Lakes region. This blend of deep local knowledge and genuine enthusiasm allows me to provide my clients with insightful, personalized guidance in real estate.
