About Emma

I was born in Madison and grew up on the near East side. I attended Lowell Elementary, O’Keeffe Middle and East High School. I spent my freshman year in college at UW Eau Claire, but quickly realized I was a Badger through and through and returned to the UW. I graduated from UW Madison in 2010 with a Bachelor’s Degree in both Women’s Studies and Social Welfare. For 5 years, I served my community as an AmeriCorp member, an employee at a local non-profit agency, and with the Department of Children and Families for the State of Wisconsin. I worked on reducing the achievement gap, supporting positive parent-child interaction, educating parents and care-givers on child development, and assisting facilities caring for children placed in out of home care. In 2015, I purchased my first home and discovered the frustrations and joy of the home buying process and home ownership. I realized the importance of having a knowlegable, skilled agent working alongside me throughout the transaction. I made the transition from social worker to real estate agent in October of that same year. It was my mother- a teacher, assistant principal, mentor- who taught me the importance of education, of serving my community, working with people and caring for others. She taught me to create a career out of something I love, and to work with people with honesty, respect, and joy. It is also entirely her fault that the career I happen to love is real estate. When I was a young girl, before real estate was available to anyone with a wifi connection, my mother would scour newspaper ads, drive around looking for “for sale” signs, or discover through word of mouth any and all homes for sale. She would drag my sister and me through all the open houses in our neighborhood and around the community. She loved the architecture, the details, the uniqueness of homes and shared that love with me. My mother believes in purchasing a house, but creating a home. I hope to bring her passion, her ability to educate, and her sense of “home” to my clients’ home buying experience.
