My professional background includes experience in visual merchandising, purchasing, communications and marketing for specialty retail, hospitality and art & design industries. Immediately prior to obtaining my real estate license, I worked as a project manager, directly responsible for communications, marketing and retail purchasing for the hospitality department of a major healthcare provider. I thrive in an environment that engages both creative and analytical thought - balancing research and data with visual practices.

I’ve built trade-show booths, designed websites, poured over sales trends of stuffed animals, made custom ceramic goods, written policies… and much more. All of which led me to this perfect fit - working with you as a full-service, client-centric real estate advisor.

My education is in fine art, with ahem… many years of coursework in visual art & design, and a BFA. I am an obsessive perma-student of art, architecture & design.

In my non-work life I love traveling (I know, such a cliché), cooking laborious meals, riding my bike, and watching prestige television ;-) I’m a movie-lover and a live-music fan. I’ve gotten into lifting heavy weights, which is something I believe everyone should try. I listen to a lot of NPR. I’m interested in prioritizing balance in my life, and ways to tear it down and make it better. Je parle français, mais pas très bien... pas encore, du moins. I currently live in Grand Rapids with my partner and my cat, where we are very slowly remodeling our house.
