I started my real estate career five years ago as a leasing agent in a small, tight-knit firm of just 10 agents—including the owners. Despite entering the business during the slowest rental months, I quickly found success, proving that strategy and hustle matter more than timing.
Before real estate, I tried my hand at insurance sales, but it felt too spammy and transactional—nothing like the personal, impactful work I wanted to do. A longtime friend and broker saw my potential and encouraged me to move into sales with a larger firm, which led me to @properties Christie’s International Real Estate, where I currently hang my real estate license.
But I never gave up on rentals. I love helping clients transition from renting to homeownership, guiding them through one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives. My background is all about service—before real estate, I served in the U.S. Air Force because I love my country, and before that, I worked as a Cook County Jail guard, gaining a deep understanding of discipline, resilience, and working with people from all walks of life.
Whether you're renting, buying, or making the leap from tenant to homeowner, I'm here to help you navigate Chicago's real estate market with confidence.
