Bio
I graduated from Colorado State University in 1995 with a B.S. in Equine Science and Towson University in 2004 with a Master’s in Education. My career path has always centered around working with, educating and caring for others. Whether teaching people to ride, training horses (or dogs, pigs and goats), or teaching elementary age children, my passion is assessing each situation and formulating a plan to assist that person to reach their goals. The same holds true with real estate where each client and their needs and each transaction is unique. Being a strong listener and an intuitive individual equips me to understand my clients’ needs and serve them well in providing each individual with exceptional service.
In 2015, I began my path in real estate when I bought my first commercial rental. When I added my second investment property, I decided to pursue my real estate license and combine my passion for helping others with my love of real estate. My official start as a real estate agent began with RE/MAX Advantage Realty in 2019.
I pride myself on continuously furthering my education by taking part in various trainings and classes so that I may assist my clients to the best of my ability. In 2020, I earned my SRES designation. As a Senior Real Estate Specialist, I assist seniors with their varying real estate needs. Through my vast network of senior providers, I am able to make rightsizing or a move into a retirement or CCRC community as stress free as possible for the seniors and their families.
In February 2024, I made the move to Cummings & Co Realtors where I joined the Zugell Jamison team. I feel like I’ve found my home! The expertise, attention to detail, client first professionalism, and resources this move has provided me is exceptional and perfectly matches my model of doing business. I am honored to expand my business and my expertise alongside Zugell and the Zugell Jamison Team.
Carroll County has been my home for the last 24 years where my boys and I live and enjoy everything the community has to offer. We have been a very active part of Howard County 4H for over 10 years, raising and showing market hogs, goats and even a steer at one point. With my equestrian background and love of all things horses, I really enjoy the farm properties in our area! Both boys have participated in livestock judging, soccer, and baseball. In my down time, I enjoy genealogy research, reading, hiking and most outdoor activities.
