I started my real estate career in my hometown of St. Joseph, MO in 1992 as the Financial Administrator for the St. Joseph Regional Association of REALTORS. Shortly after, I accepted the position of manager for the largest firm in NW Missouri and obtained my real estate brokers licenses for both Missouri and Kansas.

I had the pleasure of working in executive roles with many of the top companies in St Joseph before moving to Kansas City in 2013 when I became an empty nester and accepted a position with the number one residential firm as their Franchise Director for Missouri and Kansas.

In 2018, I entered into the National arena and worked developing and expanding franchises for six states in the midwest. In 2021 I had the opportunity to launch another National Fortune 500 company to St Louis and Kansas City. I then realized how much I missed being local and when the opportunity to work with owner, Brent Voepel and Auben Realty came about, it was the perfect fit.

On the personal side, soon after I moved to Kansas City in 2014, I had a medical hiccup and battled breast cancer. With the outpouring of support from family, friends and colleagues, I often say that it was an opportunity I had of truly feeling  the love and support one doesn’t always get to experience, even though it’s there.

My “work” passion is being active and giving back to the local community and areas that surround us here in Kansas City. I am so very fortunate to have many great connections, especially in real estate that share those same passions.

But, my world is my two grown, married sons with wives that are more like daughters to me, that have blessed me with being Gigi to six beautiful grandchildren, that are truly the BEST!
