I am a St Louis Native~ I Love The Cardinals! Born and raised in Florissant, I was 1 of 7 children who lived in a 1064 sqft home with only 3 bedrooms & 1.5 baths! ~ I believe this is where my "Less Is MORE" philosophy stemmed from...LOL!
I have always been interested in Architecture. In fact, I used to fantasize about living in one of those Old Victorian Homes off of Elizabeth Ave on our way to Emmaus Bible Chapel every Sunday morning.
I left home to attend SEMO and then transferred to UMSL where I completed my student teaching. It wasn't until after the Student Teaching experience that I realized I wasn't "GIFTED" as a full-time teacher...AND I Must add, that we have Major respect for those that do possess "The Gift"!
After realizing this, I worked as a Bartender/Restaurant Manager of Cactus Dani's- an ALL TIME Favorite Watering Hole in Ladue. It was in this position that I realized my Passion for Serving People in many different capacities! During this time, I married. While expecting my first son, I read an article about a well-known Real Estate Agent who was doing so much business that her husband quit his job at Monsanto to assist her! SERIOUSLY?? Serving People, Flexibility AND Houses!! ALL the things I am Passionate about rolled into 1 Job?! I KNEW right then and there that REAL ESTATE was the JOB for me!
Fast forward 27+ years!! Presently, I wear a FEW Very Important hats- Wife to a Wonderful Man, Mother to (2) BUSY Young Men, Mentor, FAVORITE Auntie, OFE Pool Committee, Youth Group Leader AND Real Estate Broker-Salesperson!
I LOVE to entertain in our Home- Cooking for Family and Friends is very Rewarding~ I have found that “Acts of Service” is my 2nd Love Language~ BOTH to Give & Receive! I have developed a Renewed passion for Walking/Fitness, and look forward to walking around my Wonderful OFE Neighborhood each and every morning!
Concerning Real Estate, I have a Like-Minded Team whose Goal is To Serve, First and Foremost! One of those BUSY Son’s of ours is our Number #1 Buyers Agent! His Passion for serving, and his Gift of “Helps” is Evident to everyone who meets him! Speaking as Team Leader, not Mom, “Working with Giuseppe is a Blessing!”
