Dona was born in Michigan and grew up in the northern suburbs of Detroit. She studied both commercial art and business in college. She then made her move to the beautiful Chicago area and was hooked on all it had to offer—from the many cultural aspects to the beautiful neighborhoods and Lake Michigan! She began her real estate career in 1986 with Mitchell Brothers Real Estate, which was eventually sold to another real estate firm in 1994. For the ten years prior to joining @properties Christie's International Real Estate in 2010, Dona managed her own real estate brokerage business, selling through Porter Real Estate in Wilmette. She holds the Graduate of REALTORS® Institute (GRI) designation. In addition to 29 years in the real estate business, Dona has several years experience in the corporate world to include sales and marketing and an extensive period in a corporate legal department, specializing in the negotiation of licenses for use of music, artwork and other intellectual property.
Dona has been a resident of Wilmette since 1979.
