I entered the Real Estate industry in 2005, and hit the ground running. I am dually licensed in IA and IL and received Ruhl&Ruhl REALTORS’ Rookie of the Year Award in 2005. In 2006 I was named the “New Agent of the Year” for the entire Quad City Area Realtors (QCAR)! Since then I have done extensive training to become a Certified Residential Specialist as well as an Accredited Buyers Representative and have adopted The Ninja Selling Philosophy. These designations have helped me to build a successful Real Estate business by developing systems that work and give real value to my clients by educating them and guiding them through the buying & selling process. In 2016, I was extremely honored to be named “Realtor of the Year” for the QCAR and have served on the Board of Directors since 2014. Proudly serving as President in 2019! In 2017, I began participating at the state level with the Iowa Association of Realtors (IAR) and have sincerely enjoyed my time getting to know the association leadership, staff and more of our members from across the state. I attended the Leadership Institute in 2018, and was a member of the IAR Future Presidential Advisory Group (PAG) in 2019. I have served on the Communications Committee, the Visionary Committee, the Forms committee, the Leadership Institute's Advisory Group and the Strategic Planning Committee. I currently serve as the chair for our Diversity committee and am honored to be on the Leadership Team as Second Vice President Elect, serving as IAR President in 2027! Being a Realtor and an active community member since 2005, has helped me gain compassion, expertise & knowledge as well as build a diverse network of esteemed business associates, community leaders and fantastic friends! I feel blessed to call Iowa my home and office!
