Born and raised in Manistique, I am a yooper at heart. My interest in real estate runs deep in my blood and was present at a young age. Growing up, some of my fondest memories were made building with my dad. As an entrepreneur himself, my dad built cabins, homes, and small businesses and was involved every step of the way. Throughout the process, I was right by his side helping him demo, going over blueprints, listening in on his meetings with inspectors, and watching his dreams become realities. I believe my love for real estate coupled with my hard work ethic and superb communication skills will prove to serve me well in this industry. While purchasing land and homes can undoubtedly be overwhelming and intimidating, it is also rewarding and worthwhile! I will work tirelessly to find a property that best fits you, on a schedule that accommodates you. I am truly proud to be a part of the team at Grover and welcome you to give myself or any of our agents a call for a personable buying or selling experience!

As a 6th generation "Yooper", you can say I have a great love and appreciation for Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I was born in Manistique and grew up in Germfask. I know the area well and whether you're buying or selling, I'm dedicated to matching dreams to homes. With so many great properties, give me a call and let's get looking!
I’m a proud native of Manistique, where I graduated from Manistique High School in 1990. I continued my education at Michigan Technological University, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Computer and Internet Applications. It was at MTU where I met my husband, John, and together we moved to Southeast Michigan after graduation. There, I worked for several years in the Computer Information Systems industry before taking time off to raise our three wonderful children: Hazen, Hannah, and Hadley. After dedicating 14 years to being a stay-at-home mom, I returned to the workforce with a new passion for real estate. I became a licensed Realtor in 2012 and have been working as a full-time agent in Dundee, MI. In 2018, John and I realized our dream of returning to the Upper Peninsula and purchased our forever home in Manistique to be closer to family. By the summer of 2024, we were able to make living here full-time a reality. As a Realtor with Grover Real Estate, I’m thrilled to be part of a local, trusted brokerage where I can combine my passion for real estate with my deep-rooted connection to this community. I believe that buying or selling a home is more than just a transaction—it’s an important milestone in life, and I’m committed to being there every step of the way. With personalized attention, dedicated service, and a genuine desire to help my clients achieve their dreams, I strive to make the process as seamless and stress-free as possible. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, a seasoned seller, or looking to make a move within our beautiful community, I’m excited to help you navigate the world of real estate with confidence and peace of mind.
