I was born and raised in Ponca, Nebraska, where my passion for education and community service blossomed. After earning my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Dakota Wesleyan University, I became a high school business teacher at Artesian-Letcher High School. Over nine years, I not only taught valuable business concepts but also coached students, inspiring them to grow academically and personally.

In search of a new challenge, I joined Farmers Trading Company in Mitchell, SD, as a commodity broker, where I worked closely with agricultural producers to help them navigate the complexities of commodity trading. I also continued my passion for education by hosting classes that equipped producers with essential knowledge for their success. During this time, I discovered a strong interest in real estate, dedicating my spare moments to study the field. In 2004, my efforts paid off when I became a licensed real estate broker, and now, twenty years later, I remain committed to making the buying and selling process as smooth as possible.

Alongside my real estate career, I have spent the past 14 years as an agricultural business instructor at Mitchell Technical College, where my dedication to teaching was recognized with the Teacher of the Year award in 2024. My career is defined by my commitment to making complex processes accessible and understandable, as I believe that knowledge is key to empowerment for both my clients and students.

I have been happily married to my husband, Doug, for 35 years. Together, we have raised three children and are proud grandparents to one grandchild. We reside in Alexandria, SD, where my diverse background in education, business, and real estate enables me to make a meaningful impact in the community. I’m always just a phone call away, ready to help you navigate the real estate landscape and ensure you have the best experience possible.
