I am a graduate of Valparaiso University in IN (Political Science/Theatre & TV Arts) and DePaul University College of Law in Chicago, IL, with concentrations in Intellectual Property: Copyright, Trademarks & Internet Law. I honed my negotiation techniques by being a member of the DePaul Moot Court Negotiations Team for all 3 years.

I started working in real estate in the Northern Virginia/Washington D.C. area in 2006 when I joined my mother in her team. Shortly thereafter, I took over her business. After moving to Keller Williams Realty McLean/Great Falls in 2008, I was on the Agent Leadership Council (for the top 20% of agents in the office) and became the Technical Coordinator (a job that entailed helping fellow agents with technical issues, as well as educating them in classes about a number of tech-related issues).

I'm currently the Technology and Training Director for Century 21 Redwood Realty, but also a "Jill of All Digital Trades." You can find out more about my professional life, speaking, consulting, etc. here.

On a more personal note, I'm an Air Force Brat who's lived in 10 states and moved over 30 times, so I completely understand the joys and stresses of moving. It also introduced me to the importance of having a place you can call "home."

I'm an avid sports fan of all kinds, my favorites being all Chicago teams in the United States, and most Queensland teams (plus the Melbourne Storm) in Australia. (My college sports allegiance can be bought.) I couldn't go through life without books and music. I adore technology in all its shapes and sizes, and blog much less frequently than I should at Tech With TLC, because I'm blogging at Agent Driven Tech instead!

I'm a size 7 shoe, and my preferred drink is bourbon.
