As a newer Missouri resident, I've spent the time to gain intimate knowledge of Joplin and the surrounding areas. My family and I moved here from Davis, Oklahoma, leaving the country and farm life behind for a more urban setting. We have not been disappointed with the small town feel and sense of community that Joplin, and more specifically Carl Junction, exudes. It has been an exciting year of growth and discovery for us! From the many downtown Joplin events, local eateries, thriving arts and music activities, outdoor adventures, the fantastic school system in Carl Junction and the countless friendly faces, we have felt welcomed and at home. My background is in Nursing, and I worked in a rural hospital setting on the Med/Surg floor for several years, then changed gears to home health. I thoroughly enjoyed my time as a home health nurse and the relationships that I was able to build with my patients and my co-workers in the medical field. I then was blessed to become a stay at home mom to our two daughters for the last 11 years, chauffeuring them to their many activities and loving every minute! It is the perfect time in my life to get into residential real estate, as it is something that has held my interest for the last twenty years or more. I draw from my personal experience of both buying and selling our personal properties, being self-employed and the expertise of my teammates to form meaningful relationships with my clients that allows me to guide and assist them every step of the way during their journey. A true country girl at heart, I can talk babies, horses and land til the cows come home. My relationships with clients are built on communication, dedication and transparency.
