I'm not just a real estate agent — I'm a neighbor. I was born and raised in northern Indiana, and after college, I found myself drawn back to the South Bend area by the people, the community, and the roots that shaped me. I came home for good and haven't looked back since. Now, as a REALTOR® with Cressy & Everett Real Estate, I bring that same sense of belonging and commitment to every client I serve.
Before entering real estate, I built a hands-on foundation that most agents don't have. I spent time working in home renovations — kitchens and bathrooms specifically — developing a trained eye for craftsmanship, quality, and value that goes well beyond what shows up in a listing. I then spent three years in property management, deepening my understanding of how homes perform over time. That real-world background makes me a uniquely experienced guide for anyone buying or selling a home.
I'm not just in real estate for the commission — I'm in it because I genuinely believe homeownership is one of the most powerful things a person can do for themselves and their community. That conviction drives my dedication to first-time buyers and younger clients taking their first step toward ownership. I'm loyal, patient, and motivated by your satisfaction above all else. For me, every transaction is a relationship first.
Outside of real estate, family comes before everything. I'm also an avid woodworker with a deep love for home design and craftsmanship — an appreciation that carries into every showing and every conversation I have with clients. If you're ready to buy, sell, or simply explore what homeownership could look like for you, I'd love to connect.
