My Experience and What I Offer
Who I Am
I am a licensed real estate broker in Illinois and a versatile professional with a business development, accounting, and human resources background. I have experience in both for-profit and non-profit businesses.
At the core of everything I do is a passion for building meaningful connections — not just between people, but between purpose and action, vision and results. Whether I’m guiding a real estate transaction, writing, or supporting a community project, I bring clarity, empathy, and thoughtful structure to the table.

What I Offer
Reale Estate
As a licensed real estate professional based in Illinois, I offer buyers and sellers a supportive, informed, and stress-free experience.
Freelance Writing & Editing
Whether you're launching a business or just need help saying what you mean, I offer beginner-friendly, professional writing services that help your ideas shine.
Public Speaking
Wellness is a personal passion of mine. I believe that how we care for ourselves—mentally, physically, and emotionally—affects every aspect of our lives. Whether I’m teaching a first-time homebuyer's class, discussing personal financial wellness, or motivating people to make positive changes, I approach each situation with empathy.
My Experience
A never-ending desire for knowledge, a mind for details and organization, and a deep appreciation of technology, creativity, and empathy have shaped an unconventional and fulfilling professional path — one that allows me to merge strategy with relatability in everything I do.
I invite you to connect with me on LinkedIn for a detailed overview of my experience and work history.
Experience Highlights
- In 2020, I earned my real estate broker's license in Illinois.
- I worked in accounting and human resources for 13 years.
- For nine years in the nonprofit sector, I served in development roles where I wore many hats — grant writer, marketer, event planner, and relationship builder.
- I also have experience in writing RFP/RFQ responses, compliance, and streamlining processes for small businesses.
One of my favorite quotes is by Napoleon Hill: “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” Over time, I’ve learned that belief alone isn’t enough — you also need presence, patience, planning… and sometimes, a really good spreadsheet.
Both my professional and personal experiences have shaped a mission I hold close: to connect people with the knowledge, tools, and support they need to live balanced, informed, and inspired lives.
Thank you for being here,
