My years on this planet have helped shaped me into many molds. My early life led me down the path of competitive sports. That drive led to a Division I scholarship playing tennis for Western Illinois University, where I majored in Marketing with Journalism focus. The constant drive to compete has always been one of the most consistent aspects of my life, as I still take part in competitive recreational football/volleyball teams and obstacle racing to this day.My love to compete paved the way into the sales world, where I honed my venturesome spirit into success. My years as a mortgage consultant and business financial advisor, helped quell that impassioned urge by setting and hitting my sales targets consistently. Experience in these fields allowed my skill set to continue to evolve through client experience, business to business & mortgage sales, strategic planning, relationship excellence, and business development.My continued passion for all things related to the development and success of my business, will always be a top priority- but I also believe in making time to develop individually as well. Taking a breather, stepping away from technology when needed, having hobbies, sitting down for dinner every night with the family, taking that vacation - These are all integral pieces of who we are and should be prioritized with intention, without falling to side. Living and enjoying life, while we are still able to, is a gift.
