About Your Guide With a BBA in Human Resources Management from Grand Valley State University, I built my career foundation in banking through roles in consumer lending and human resources. This led to 16 years in banking leadership, where I served as both a Banking Center Manager and Regional Manager, developing expertise in financial operations and team development. Since earning my real estate license in 2016, I’ve channeled this comprehensive background into real estate, earning specialized certifications in pricing strategy (PSA), probate real estate (CPRES), multiple offer expertise (CMOE), and property staging (PPS-REA). As a 2024 graduate of GRAR’s Leadership Academy and current Vice Chair of the DEI Task Force, I’m actively involved in shaping the future of real estate in West Michigan.
