As an RID Certified freelance Sign Language Interpreter for over 20 years, I developed excellent listening skills, integrity, patience, and a general love for assisting people. I became accustomed to working in unpredictable situations and with people from a wide variety of backgrounds.

Working as your Realtor, my main goal is to make your dreams a reality.  Whether you are a first time home buyer, an "empty-nester" ready to downsize or someone wanting to make a change, I will try to ease the stress that comes with buying or selling a home. Being detail-oriented, I will stay on top of all the fine details to make your transactions as smooth as possible. I will also use the latest technology and the wonderful resources of my company to help you achieve your goals. To me, the true sign of success is helping others to succeed in achieving their dreams.

Why Real Estate? It’s a family thing! I'm a fourth generation realtor. I grew up in the northern suburbs of Chicago and my mom was a residential agent and my dad was a property manager.  Even my brother and sister worked in real estate at some point of their careers. Before becoming an Interpreter, I worked at Chicago’s famed Marina City as a leasing and sales agent. I then moved to Washington, DC for a few years to earn my Master’s Degree in Sign Language Interpretation. I still love interpreting, but recently my husband and I fulfilled our dream of moving to the "exurbs" of Chicago and found a house with land in Northern Lake County. It was then I realized there are other people like me and I could help fulfill their dreams too.  

When I am not working with my clients, I love to be at home with my children, husband, dogs, cats, foster kittens, chickens, and barn cats. I love to garden, watch the animals that visit our pond and dream of the next pets to add to the medley! 

I am the Foster Kitten Coordinator for Fat Cat Rescue in Wadsworth, IL. Once I help you become a homeowner, wouldn't you love to fill it with a furry friend? Ask me for more information or visit their website.
