RE/MAX Elite | Mount Vernon

Growing up in Southern Illinois on the family farm, and working with the USDA in both the housing and farm divisions, has given me insight into the different types of real estate that are available in the area. I worked with individuals who were buying and selling houses, farm ground, recreational ground, etc. I also assisted individuals with their financing needs. My goal as your agent it to give you my utmost best and to always put your best interest first. I receive the greatest pleasure when I am able to serve my clients to the best of my ability and to achieve the outcome that they desire.

Originally from O’Fallon, Illinois, I moved to Mt. Vernon several years ago and pursued my career in real estate. I enjoy traveling and camping with my boyfriend, John, and miniature dachshunds, Yadier and Wrigley. My passions are cooking, hiking, going to Cardinals games, and, of course, real estate! I like being involved in the community, and am a member of the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce. My past careers have made me a well-rounded professional – always aiming to please my clients & the public. During college, I worked as a retail assistant manager for a popular teenage clothing line. After college, I taught middle school mathematics at Alton Middle School for eight years. During that time, I also worked part time as a server, bartender, and after-school tutor. Upon moving to Mt. Vernon, I began bartending at Rare Chop House, which later led to a general management promotion. As long as I can remember, I have always valued education, and appreciate being a life-long learner. After receiving my masters in Leadership & Administration at McKendree University, I later completed Real Estate License courses, & passed the IL Real Estate License State exam. I continue to expand my knowledge in real estate by attending continuing education courses throughout the years. In March 2018, I attended the Real Estate Institute and completed the coursework and state exam to become a managing broker. Providing guidance & professional assistance for people making important real estate decisions is a responsibility I value and take pleasure in making my number one priority. Starting my real estate career as a broker at Century 21 All Pro Real Estate, I made an exciting & positive switch to RE/MAX Elite in Mt. Vernon, IL.
