INTRODUCTIONIndianapolis has always been my home, and I feel honored to sell homes to families in the area! Growing up in Indianapolis has been a very enjoyable experience, and I love sharing my knowledge of the city with people. PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUNDWith a bachelor's degree in math education and health education, and a master's degree in school counseling, I spent five years teaching 7th grade in the Center Grove Community School Corporation, then another two years as an At Risk Counselor in Brown County Schools before becoming a REALTOR® in 2009. I use my skills as an educator on a daily basis to connect with my clients and help educate them on the home-buying and home-selling process. Being a real estate agent is about understanding the process of buying and selling homes and guiding my clients through the maze of a real estate transaction, but it is also about making personal connections with them. This is what I enjoy most about my career.AWARDS2021 CENTURY 21 CENTURION Producer2016, 2017, 2020 - CENTURY 21 Masters Diamond2014, 2018, 2019 - CENTURY 21 Masters Emerald2013 - CENTURY 21 Ruby Award2016 - 2021 - Quality Service Pinnacle Award2013-2015 - Quality Service AwardDuring my time with CENTURY 21 Scheetz, not only have I been honored with sales production awards; in 2016 I was honored to receive my company's Spirit Award, which I hold very dear to me!This award is voted on by colleagues and staff to find someone who: *embodies our core values*someone Smarter, Bolder, Faster*someone who embraces change and is never satisfied with status quo*someone who diligently seeks to improve their professional and personal life while giving back to the community in which they serve.
