I grew up in Pierre and moved to Brookings in 2001 to attend SDSU and fell in love with the town, as so many others have. I have been a full-time Realtor since I got into the business in 2013. In 2016 I was named Rising Star by the East Central South Dakota Realtors and in 2020 I was honored with the local Realtor of the Year award. I served as local board president in 2019 and 2020. At the State Association level I have served on the Government Affairs committee for several years and look forward to chairing the committee in 2023.
