My Story — Built From Experience, Driven by Purpose
  
My real estate journey began in 2016 when I became licensed in South Dakota and joined Exit Realty Black Hills in Rapid City. I brought with me over 20 years of professional experience — including an extensive background as a paralegal, a B.A. in Business, and a Master's in Public Administration.
  
In 2020, I stepped into entrepreneurship — launching my own independent brokerage, New Heights Properties, serving the Black Hills community. I built that brokerage from the ground up, navigating new NAR regulations, emerging technology, and an ever-evolving real estate landscape.
  
In 2026, I made a strategic decision — returning to the Exit Realty franchise as an agent (maintaining Broker status) — because I genuinely believe Exit Realty offers the best platform in the industry: unmatched technology, top-tier training, education, and an unwavering commitment to ethical sales practices.
  
Now I'm focused on three powerful missions: 🔑 Serving sellers and buyers with expertise and clarity 🌟 Recruiting and mentoring the next generation of great agents — not just good ones ❤️ Giving back through community, housing advocacy, and the fight to end homelessness
    
My Specialty: Creating Clarity
  
"My hashtag is #Reimagine — because every real estate journey deserves a fresh perspective."
  
Whether you are listing your home, building new construction, buying your first home, or acquiring a luxury property in the Hills — my role is to create clarity at every step of the process.
  
That means helping you understand:
  
📋 Why your decisions matter — and what drives them
💼 How to evaluate offers strategically — not just by price
🏦 How to choose the right lender, title company, inspector, and contractor
🔨 Who the skilled, trusted professionals are in your corner
  
I don't just hand you a contract — I build your team and walk the entire journey with you.

“Ours is a society profoundly fissure d by the qualities
that define us: income, race, gender, ethnicity, age,
lifestyle. Societal fault-lines mark rifts between
religions, parties, and ideologies. It falls on the
shoulders of government to transcend these chasms—to
forge a civic culture that bridges differences
and strengthens commonalities. Responsive democracy,
civility, and respect for one another depend on this.”
(Guy, 2003: 641)
