Get to Know Me

As a real estate broker, I feel incredibly fortunate to do what I do every day. There is no better city than Chicago to build both a business and a life. With its diverse neighborhoods, wide range of housing options, and accessibility, Chicago offers something for everyone—and I’m grateful to experience the city through the stories, interests, and opportunities my clients share with me.

One of the most rewarding parts of my work is reconnecting with clients after their purchase and hearing how much they love the place they now call home. It’s an honor to advocate for clients as they buy homes where new memories will be made, or to guide them through selling homes where so many memories already live.

My professional journey spans more than 20 years and is rooted in both education and real estate. I’ve taught classrooms of two-year-olds while also serving as an adjunct instructor for future educators, and I’ve been a consistent top performer in both sales and the luxury leasing space. Over time, I discovered that the most fulfilling work for me was combining these two worlds—real estate and education—by mentoring and educating professionals within the industry alongside of my own business and helping them build and grow their own businesses. 

Through years of teaching and leadership, I’ve learned that success—whether in a classroom or a professional environment—starts with understanding how each individual learns, thinks, and experiences the world. By recognizing different perspectives and learning styles, I help others visualize their next steps and move forward with clarity, confidence, and the right level of support.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

I had been through quite a frustrating apartment search after quickly selling my condo. I needed to move in less than a month, but was having trouble finding the right next to place for my dog and me. And then Jodi's unit came along. I saw the property she represented immediately, applied the next day, and signed the lease the following day. The whole process went so smoothly. She anticipated my needs an...
