​Organization’s Name
The Meadows

What did you want to be when you were a child?
Oh man, I wanted to be an accountant because I loved calculators! Such a ridiculous reason but man I’m fast punching in those numbers!

What called you to your work?
Interesting question. I never went to college but I knew I wanted to be successful and not work “for the man” but be the WOMAN!

Who in the community do you look up to? Do you have a role model?
I look up to so many women in the area. I’ve always wondered how so many working moms balance work and life. I figure if they can do so can I!

Do you have a personal or professional motto?
Work Smart and Play Hard!

Keep Calm and Go Shopping!
Name your greatest success, or what you are most proud of, in your business experiences.
This is a tough one. I would say getting my real estate license in the middle of the holiday season at the mall at the age of 41!

What product/service do you offer?
I’m a Senior Retail Property Manager for Balke Brown Transwestern, where I oversee retail shopping centers. In other words, I shop for a living!

What makes your business unique?
The Meadows is an outdoor lifestyle center that is unique to St. Charles County. We have lots of businesses that are one of a kind to our area.

What is the nicest thing a customer has ever said to you about your products/service?
Don’t help many customers but I do help business owners. I had a current tenant tell me that I was a great communicator and made their leasing process simple, easy to understand and have continued to stay in contact to make sure they are reaching their desired sales/goals.

What are three things you use every day in your job?
1. Cell Phone
2. Debit Card
3. Highlighter

Tell us about organizations/charities you are passionate about.
I currently work with United Services for Children for their fundraising efforts to bring a museum to the Meadows. In the past two years, I have learned so much about all the services they offer. As a community, we are truly blessed to have this as an option if needed. Truly remarkable the work they do with kids of all abilities.

When you are not working, what do you like to do in your spare time?
If I’m not working then you can find me at the pool or on the golf course!
