Who I Am
My story, and why you'll feel at home here.
If you've ever felt like you had to pick between two sides of yourself, this is the space for you. I've spent my whole life being both: country girl and polished professional, boots and heels, farm mornings and grown-up dreams. It's not a contradiction. It's how I'm built.
My story starts the way so many Ohio stories do: on a farm in a small town, surrounded by hardworking people. I learned early that the best things in life are built, not given, and that grit and grace can live in the same heart. Those values carried me from farm mornings and family tables into a life built around home.
For more than a decade, home came first. I spent those years as a builder's wife and a mom, raising our seven kids and building a family life rooted in faith, routine, and resolve. That season gave me the patience, the discipline, and the people skills I now bring to everything I do, and especially to the families I serve.
When my season changed, I started over from nothing: no professional experience, and a determination to make a way for my family. I built a small business from the ground up, found my calling in real estate, and spent nearly a decade with Irongate Inc. Realtors, where I grew The Lux Elite Group into a team known for elevated service. In 2024, I brought that team into the Glasshouse Realty family and opened the downtown Wilmington office I lead today.
I'm also the real deal when it comes to community. I'm a Wilmington native and I live where I work: I know the coffee shops, the schools, the neighborhoods, and the people. Every member of our team grew up in the surrounding areas, from Clinton County to Highland and Greene. My roots don't just shape how I serve clients. They're the reason I do.
I'm just as comfortable talking renovation plans and acreage as I am helping clients envision beautiful spaces where their families can grow. Because home isn't just where you live. It's where your story unfolds, and I'd love to help you write the next chapter.
I can walk a farm, tour a construction site, manage a family of nine, and show up looking polished and put together. If that's you too, or the person you're becoming, you're in the right place.
Built on Both
You don't have to pick a lane here. Country girl or polished professional, boots or heels, I live right in the middle, and I've made room for you there too.
Built on Both.
"Raised on grit. Drawn to beauty."
