“Real success is finding your lifework in the work that you love.”~ David McCullough.

When moving to Neenah, Wisconsin from St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada 19 years ago, I was unsure as to what field of work to get into. I had worked in the office environment for 18 years, and was ready for something new and exciting. I just wasn’t sure at the time what that was. I am a believer that you must absolutely love what you do in order to be successful at it and my goal was to find just that. I took an administrative position in a real estate office and it didn’t take long to discover where my true passion fell- Real Estate.

Having left my family, friends and entire life in Canada to venture to this great state of Wisconsin, I can relate to the anxieties, challenges and anticipation involved in moving to a new home. I think that is why I found this profession to be a perfect fit for me, because I am able to relate to my clients and be compassionate about their needs and wants during the home buying and selling process. I truly believe that “THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME” and that everyone needs to find the perfect home that is exactly what they are looking for.  And I know that I have succeeded when in return I receive 83% of my clientele from referrals from past clients who appreciated my professionalism and my passion for excellence.

I have earned designations as a Certified Resident Specialist (CRS) and Graduate of the Realtor Institute (GRI). My efforts have earned me Senior Associate Status at my previous employer, which is based on achievements in home buying/selling production, education and experience.  I am also the proud recipient of the Excellence in Professionalism award and I continue to keep current with new and upcoming real estate education and information.  The added support of Re/Max 24/7 Real estate LLC and Re/Max International, and all of the wonderful tools that they provide, will greatly benefit me and my clients in the home buying/selling process.

Although real estate is a great love of mine, my first love lies in my family and home. My wonderful husband Mark and my awesome three kids: Lindsay Sarah and Taylor (and Spencer too!), are a constant reminder of what success really is. The many life lessons that they continue to teach me keep me grounded, and are a reminder of what life is really all about.

When I’m not at work or spending time with my family, I have several hobbies that keep me on the move. I am an avid curler. Being a natural born leader and competitive in nature, I am the Skip (or leader) of my team. We compete in tournaments all over the state and the relationships I hold with my friends and teammates are very valuable to me. Curling keeps me busy all winter, but in the summer you can find me comfortably seated on the back of my husband’s Harley or relaxing in my hot tub on my patio with a glass of wine.

I am not only committed to my work and my family, but also my community. I have served as a Chairman of the RANW Fox Valley Community Service Committee for nine years and continue to hold that position. I have participated in Habitat for Humanity builds, am a member of Rotary international, participate in the Neenah Clean Up, and have been a committee member for the Women’s Fund for the Fox Valley.

Spencer and I believe everybody needs a place to hang their hat… and leash. We are passionate about the efforts of the Fox Valley Humane Association and proudly donate a portion of every closed sale on your behalf to the FVHA. Spencer also recently received a certificate of kindness from the FVHA for his efforts.

I truly believe that you must love what you do to be successful at it and will put my every effort into helping you will all of your real estate needs.
