I wanted to feel that passion as a teacher of real estate agents and as their transaction coordinator. My motto is based on a famous quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson. It goes something like, “To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the beauty in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that one life has breathed easier because you lived here. This is to have succeeded.” I was raised here in the Kansas City area, and currently live in the Kearney area. I have a handsome realtor husband, one fantastic bonus daughter, four fluffy felines, and a adorable pup. Transitioning from helping and teaching sweet but sassy middle schoolers to teaching and training realtors touches my heart and sticks within my motto of winning the respect of intelligent people and helping the realtors of tomorrow breathe easier because I was there to assist and teach them.
