Growing up in Pierre, SD I enjoyed boating, fishing and tubing on the Missouri River with my family.  I also enjoyed rodeo, riding horses, as well as, learning to appreciate the beauty of the country lifestyle.

After high school, I attended South Dakota State University, where I pursued a degree in Agricultural Business and Agricultural Marketing. My degree provided me with a solid foundation in business principles, as well as, a better understanding of the agricultural industry.

After graduating from college in 2008, I moved out to Rapid City, SD.  It was during this time that I met my husband.  In 2020, we decided to move our family to Sturgis, SD, where we currently reside. While Sturgis is known for its annual motorcycle rally, I love the small-town community and all that it has to offer, including the beautiful scenery of the Black Hills and the Badlands.

I pursued a career in banking at a very young age in 1998.  I started on the teller line and worked my way up to Teller Manager, Consumer Lender, Accounting Associate, and Commercial Loan Administrator.  In 2014, I advanced my career into Mortgage Lending. I am currently a Real Estate Loan Officer and Branch Manager with Eagle Mountain Mortgage Group in Sturgis, South Dakota. 

It has been a goal of mine to also become a realtor and look forward to providing my clients with the total real estate experience. My heart has always been to serve others. I look forward to helping each client with their real estate journey, as they buy, build, sell or refinance.     

I enjoy spending most of my free time with my family and friends. Outdoor activities are a big part of our family's life, as we love to explore all that South Dakota has to offer while riding horses, rodeoing, hunting, fishing, camping, boating, 4-wheeling, hiking, and going to church.

I'm grateful for the opportunities that have come my way, for the chance to raise my family in such a beautiful part of the country and I look forward to seeing what the future holds in my Real Estate career.
