License Partner, Designated Managing Broker
773-501-6201
My career in residential real estate sales has offered me the perfect blend of all that I love – teaching, learning, exploring, guiding, and mentoring. My true passion is the “Ah ha” moment that occurs when I have helped others achieve their potential or realize an important achievement. Being able to make a difference in people’s lives gives me great joy. Having received a master’s degree from Northwestern University and been on the faculty at New Trier High School, Lake Forest High School, and Lake Forest Country Day School, I am intimately familiar with the North Shore. Within my 20+ years in real estate, I have been a designated managing broker over multiple offices and shops for over 15 years. Introducing Engel & Völkers to the North Shore has allowed me to bring together like-minded brokers who were ready to elevate their businesses and align with a company whose culture and values reflect their own. The consistency and quality of this global brand is unsurpassed, and it is an honor to represent the best wherever I go!
