Real Estate Agent (Broker)
Naperville - IL

### Professional Bio

With deep roots in Chicago, this real estate agent brings a wealth of personal and professional experience to the industry. Growing up in Lincoln Park, they fondly recall taking the Clark Street bus with siblings to McDonald's, with Lincoln Park Zoo and North Avenue Beach serving as cherished playgrounds. A move to Oak Lawn during high school introduced them to new adventures, including trips to Oak Street Beach via public transportation.

Their academic journey in finance led to a pivotal moment in a real estate finance class, culminating in the purchase of their first home at the age of 25. This experience has been mirrored in their recent assistance to a close friend's son in acquiring a condo in Lakeview East at the same age. The transition to family life allowed them to explore tax preparation during the busy season, which sparked an interest in mortgage underwriting and empowering new homebuyers to achieve their ownership dreams.

With a solid background in mortgage finance, they have developed into a skilled negotiator and analytical thinker, adept at navigating the complexities of real estate transactions. Their passion for Chicago is evident as they traverse the city, witnessing the evolution of its diverse neighborhoods—a reflection of the vision articulated by urban planner Daniel Burnham: “Make no small plans.”

Outside of real estate, they enjoy playing softball with the South Loop Sluggers at Grant Park and Eckert Park in West Town. An active lifestyle includes running and biking along the lake, attending Cubs games, tailgating, sailing, and practicing yoga. Their approach to client relationships is rooted in social engagement, fostering connections through conversation, meeting new people, and exploring the city's vibrant dining scene.
