I am a native Minnesotan, growing up in Wayzata and calling Lake City home since 1998. I spent 10 years as a legal assistant working in family and bankruptcy law as well as non-profit.
My husband and I have raised our three boys in Lake City and love being a part of a smaller community. I have been an active member here, helping and supporting many school and community activities.
I come to the real estate industry with a variety of experiences, having 25 years managing multifamily properties, residential homes, and vacation homes. I look forward to helping you find your dream home or help you sell your home.
