Educational Background: Bachelor of Science-Urban and Regional Studies (Minnesota State University); Real Estate Broker (Kaplan University)
I have been a REALTOR with River’s Edge Realty (formerly Clark Properties) for 11 years.  In 2014 I received my Broker’s license and became co-owner of River’s Edge Realty in Windom.  My role at the company is to oversee day-to-day operations of the company and assist agents in real estate transactions.  I also work directly with clients who are buying and selling property.

Our company focus is on residential, commercial, and agricultural properties.  One of the things I enjoy most about the job is the variety of people I get to meet.  We really get to know our buyers and sellers and it’s always interesting to hear their stories.

I’m a member of the Minnesota National Association of REALTORS (NAR).  NAR does a great job of keeping us up-to-date on industry changes as well as a great resource for buyers and sellers.  Locally, I’m a board member of the Windom Country Club and also Vice President of the Windom Economic Development Authority.

I grew up in rural Windom (north of Bergen).  After graduating from MSU, Mankato I worked in economic development at both the municipal and regional levels.  Helping people realize their dream of owning their own businesses through gap financing and grant writing was something I enjoyed very much.  After years of doing this, I got the opportunity to be on the other end of the transaction—as a business owner myself.  Coming to work is something that I really look forward to—even on the most challenging days and I’m grateful for that.

My husband Tory and I live in Windom and have 3 children.  Tory farms in the Storden area.  Our oldest son Alex is beginning his journey in college after graduating from Windom High School in 2015.  Caleb is a 5th grader in Windom, and our ‘pink caboose’ Sophia started kindergarten in the Fall of 2016.  We enjoy playing golf, travel, and spending time with friends and family.
