About Me

A Little About Me!

I have lived in Indiana for more than 25 years and am proud to call it home! I was born in Michigan, spent my elementary years in Scottsdale, Arizona and made a brief stop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, before my family settled back down in Michigan and that is where I graduated high school. My college years were spent in Arizona. I graduated from Arizona State in 1986 with a major in Finance and minors in Economics and Spanish. This was a time that I will never forget with the Tri Delts, Greek Leaders, Campus Service, and amazing friends. At the end of college, I met a Wildcat guy (University of Arizona) who later became my husband. In the time that we dated, we had to work through the issues of being HUGE rivals of two Pac-10 schools. After graduating college, we both worked in California; I worked in Northern California, while my husband, John, was in Los Angeles.

Ultimately we found that if we moved to the Midwest, we could "cure" some of our undergraduate rivalry issues, so we made a move to Chicago while John completed grad school. In 1991, we settled down in Zionsville, Indiana. After moving, John started working for Eli Lily & Company and I began a Career in medical sales until 1996, when our third child, AnnCatherine, was born. I took some time off and in 2004, I decided it was time to go back to work; this is when I made my move to real estate. John and I are proud parents of four living children.

Our oldest, Tim, is a graduate of the University of Georgia, and is gainfully employed! Our oldest daughter Lillie is a senior at Mizzou and is pursuing graduate school options. Our daughter, AnnCatherine is a freshman at George Mason University. She has Down Syndrome and it's our delight to watch her reach her goals and dreams. and must overcome many obstacles to do what she does. Our youngest, Mari, is a junior at Zionsville Community High School. Mari is a tennis player and involved with everything! Three of our four children attended the International School and we loved the culture at the International School, as well as the people, academics and the fact that our children were trilingual by the time they got to high school. We have also had an amazing experience with the Zionsville schools and cannot say enough about the academic support that we've received for our AP scholars as well as for our special needs child!

I am fluent in Spanish and think I am Latina. I have had the honor of being a part of a Presbyterian Church plant in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico for several years, and I have loved every minute of it! Not only am I fluent in Spanish, but I can speak enough French to be dangerous! Although Indiana offers me neither the mountains of Colorado for skiing, nor the beaches of South Carolina, it is my home and I am proud to call it that! I chose real estate because it is a privilege to help people reach their goal in what is the single, largest financial transaction that most people undertake. It takes expert negotiation, finesse, sensitivity, and a deep understanding of the local market. On the side of selling a home, I utilize marketing techniques that yield strong results!
