A native Oregonian before most people knew what that meant, I moved to Chicago
30 years ago after a five-year publishing stint in Italy to live in a ldquo;realrdquo; city. I've
never looked back.
Chicagorsquo;s vibrancy continues to captivate me.
Irsquo;ve lived, worked and raised a family in the Gold Coast and Streeterville. And am
equally home in Lincoln Park, Lake View, River North, the Loop and its younger
cousin, the West Loop, among others.
I know their buildings, communities, schools and vendors ndash; their strengths and their
opportunities.
My editorial background makes me good at probing to help clients determine their
needs ndash; whatrsquo;s really important to them. My Fortune-500 communications experience
fine-tuned my marketing and negotiating skills.
Irsquo;m told I inherited my parentsrsquo; ingenuity, intuition and indefatigable work ethic. My
clients compliment me on my people skills, integrity and a gift for infusing joy into the
process.
Beyond a good book, a WBEZ podcast or a trip to Positano (not to mention family and friends), my clients are my passion.
