"Consistency, Innovation & Humility"
I grew up right here in Champaign-Urbana. I graduated in 1999 from Urbana High School and received my Bachelor's of Arts from our beloved University of Illinois. I later attended The University of Southern California Annenberg School for Communication in Los Angeles, where I earned a Master's degree in Communication Management. I also hold an MBA from the University of Illinois' Gies College of Business. I lecture at the University of Illinois and I am also active in Junior League as VP of the Membership Council. I am always seeking out new opportunities to learn, network and grow.
In my free time I enjoy world travel, Paris is by far my favorite city in the world. I also really LOVE interior design and architecture. In 2017 I bought my dream home, a 1960's built John Replinger mid-century modern. I spent two years completely renovating this beautiful home, really sharpening my design eye, and construction management skills. You can check out before and after photos in my blog, Perfecting Projects in the HOME and BEYOND! Food is LIFE. I am always cooking, hosting an elaborate themed dinner party, and reading and creating new recipes. If you ever see me out in our community it will most likely be at one of our awesome local restaurants (probably brunch), with some of the world's most caring and supportive people. My friends and family have really helped support my ambitions, and I am truly thankful for them.
In 2017 I started lecturing at The University of Illinois. I teach and manage the Sales Program in the Charles H. Sandage Department of Advertising, (Did you know Illinois has the FIRST Advertising program in the country? Cool, huh?) Our curriculum focuses on sales and marketing theory, while helping bridge the gap between academia and industry. My students inspire me beyond belief. They challenge me and definitely keep me young. I LOVE mentoring students and watching them grow into their own potential. Some of my most fulfilling experiences have been students telling me how my courses have impacted them.
In 2018 I created and founded LIVE Real Estate Group, a locally owned and operated Real Estate Brokerage, focusing on concierge brand real estate services- offering Creative HOME Solutions. From home sales, buying, investment to design and project consulting- my clients receive all of these services in one place. Real estate has been a long time passion of mine. I love helping clients create a vision for their home and helping them achieve it. I proudly advocate tirelessly for them along the way.
Life is good. Through the ups and downs, I approach life with a true sense of optimism- and I believe consistency, innovation and humility are the 3 most important characteristics for success. Who knows what the future will bring, but I'm sure it will be amazing.
