Bio
I’m a fourth-generation Lanstronaut and have been proudly serving the Greater Lansing real estate community since 2003. As a leader on the Rooted Real Estate of Greater Lansing team, I bring over two decades of experience, a steady and patient presence, and a deep commitment to helping people feel informed, supported, and confident throughout the buying and selling process.
Housing advocacy and education are at the heart of my work. In 2024, I was honored to be named Housing Advocate of the Year by Capital Area Housing Partnership. I’ve also earned the RE/MAX Lifetime Achievement Award, reflecting years of client-first service and trusted guidance. As a Certified Tourism Ambassador, I love helping buyers connect not just with a house, but with a neighborhood that truly fits their life.
I strive to create a real estate experience that feels safe, respectful, accessible, and welcoming to everyone. Every client’s needs, communication style, and decision-making process are different, and I approach each relationship with empathy, clarity, and calm. My goal is to reduce stress, explain every step clearly, and be a steady guide during what can be a big and emotional transition.
Real estate, to me, is about building strong and inclusive communities. I’ve volunteered with organizations like the Children’s Miracle Network and the Capital Area Housing Partnership, organized a joyful Inflatable Dash to benefit our local LBGTQ+ community, and I love mentoring new agents as they grow their confidence and careers. Cheering on my Rooted Real Estate team as they chase big goals is one of my favorite parts of the job.
Outside of real estate, you’ll often find me tucked in at home reading or trying out a new craft or dreaming about our next family vacation. I love attending plays at The Wharton Center and sharing new experiences and foods with my kids. My husband and I are avid readers and a loyal D&D party companions. And if you see me driving to an appointment, there’s a good chance I’m singing Broadway show tunes at full volume… or Taylor Swift, depending on the day. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and find the best way for us to work together in continuing to strengthen our community through home ownership.
