FIRST BIG BREAK:

Around 1995, as an agent at Penfield Real Estate, I exclusively secured Image Homes by Bobby Bonds for all of his business. He was a large developer and builder in Saline County and began to mentor me over a 15-year period. His mentorship led me to start designing and building homes, and I will always be grateful for his wisdom and guidance.

ATTRACTION TO CAREER:

I had always been interested in interior design and European style homes. I enjoy working with architects and draftsmen on every detail and the hard work it takes to get to the finished product. 

MOST ADMIRABLE QUALITY IN WOMEN:

I love that women are able to have a family and work toward their own goals, both personally and professionally. No matter what their age, they go for it and get it done all while still reaching out to help others.

SURPRISING FACT:

I am a mother of 10 grown children and 11 grandchildren with number 12 on the way. My husband, Jess, and I had our lives forever changed after becoming foster parents in 2007 through The CALL and an additional blessing of becoming adoptive parents in 2011. 

PERSONAL MOTTO:

To whom much is given, much is expected.  Love big!!!
