About the Listing Agent
Always having a passion for everything ‘Chicago’, I decided to pursue a career in residential real estate after receiving a degree in finance from The University of Iowa. Growing up on Chicago’s northwest side, in the Jefferson Park neighborhood, I have spent my life exploring and getting to know the neighborhoods of the city. Chicago is such a unique city and offers so much to people, and there’s nothing I enjoy more than being able to show and sell homes throughout the city.
