About

I moved to Lawrence as a child when my father became a KU Professor. I’m an LHS and KU grad. I taught at the Jr. High/Middle School level in KCK and Lawrence. I entered real estate in 2008. My husband was a broker/owner at Stephens and believed I had many transferrable skills even though I had an employment gap due to raising our 3 sons. Realtors advocate for clients, and I had spent years advocating for our children within the educational, health, mental health, and judicial systems. 

Communication skills are key in real estate, and I had developed flexibility in communication through years of dealing with autism spectrum communication challenges. My years raising children with different gifts, abilities, and skin colors opened my eyes to privilege and injustice. I understand that there are barriers that many have to overcome just to get service. I am committed to providing a safe place for all people. 

Realtors often help guide clients through stressful times. My experiences include building a new home, down-sizing, parents aging in place, parents moving to a senior living environment, loved ones’ marriages and divorces, disabling diseases of loved ones, health challenges, the tragic death of a child, and more than I can list here. I may not have walked in my clients’ shoes, but I have a depth of understanding about the stress of transitions that can result in people buying/selling homes. 

A wonderful man that helped our son in his transition to a group home environment believed that you should “leave people/situations better than you find them.”  Once, when it was not going smoothly, he said to me in my tears, “I got you!” He not only impacted our son’s life for the better, but he impacted ours as well. That is the kind of person I aspire to be in my life and my work.
