A native of suburban Chicago and with degrees from North Central College and Loyola University, I spent the majority of my career as a college English professor at Elgin Community College. Throughout those years, I found self-fulfillment by helping my students learn and acquire skills to lead successful lives. In 2021, I officially retired as a professor and relocated to southern Indiana. With my long-standing interest and passion for real estate, I decided to become a realtor. Now with ERA, I look forward to continuing my passion for teaching others—but in a new way. My many years as an educator provided me with some critical skills that carry over into real estate, namely empathy, negotiation and people skills, flexibility, and determination. In much the same way as I received great satisfaction from having a role in changing my students’ lives, I look forward to the same opportunity with my clients. Contact me, and let me show you how!
