Licensed in IA

Muscatine Office

226 East 2nd Street
Muscatine, IA 52761

I serve home buyers and sellers across two distinct markets as an active Realtor on both the Iowa City and Muscatine boards. Having spent years in healthcare at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, I understand the specific real estate needs of medical residents, fellows, and relocating professionals. My family lived through the rapid expansion of Tiffin before moving to Muscatine, giving me firsthand insight into both fast-growing suburban hubs and tight-knit small towns. Whether you are a first-time buyer, navigating new construction, relocating, or looking for a home that needs a little vision, I guide you through local market data, mortgage options, and home staging with a hard-working, grounded approach.
 
Before real estate, my career as a hospital music therapist in palliative care taught me how to listen deeply, stay calm under pressure, and provide comfort during uncertainty. Today, I bring that same patient, steady presence to every real estate transaction, handling stress behind the scenes so you can make confident choices. Outside of real estate, I spend my time staying involved in my kids' school, women's Bible study, Mahjong, book club, drinking good coffee, exercising, and walking with friends. Reinvesting in our community is core to my values; therefore, a portion of every closing goes directly to support the Musser Public Library or United Way.
