I consider myself an Illini, though I have lived in Indiana for more than half of my life. Born and raised in Southern Illinois, I grew up in very small communities, graduating with a class of 62 students. I think that has contributed to my outgoing personality, I never meet a stranger, because living in such small communities, you knew everyone.
I was blessed to marry my wonderful husband of 25 years, after meeting him in college. He is a project manager at Thomson, Inc. We have two great children, a son who attends Indiana University studying business and a daughter, a national champion gymnast and an honor student at Lawrence North High School. They keep me busy but, I pride myself in always living a balanced life.
After working in the accounting field for several years, I decided to take advantage of the opportunity to stay home and raise my children. After they were both in school full time, I needed to get back into the business world, so I took a part time job as an unlicensed assistant at Re/Max Ability Plus. I guess you could say real estate is in my blood; my mother is the broker/owner of Century 21 Heritage in Vincennes, Indiana. I received my real estate license in March of 1999 and continued at Re/Max as a licensed assistant. In August of 1999, I began my career with Century 21, when I accepted a position as a licensed assistant at Century 21 at the Crossing. As my business grew, I felt the need to further my career, when I was invited to become a member of The Richwine Real Estate Group at Century 21 Realty Group I.
I bring to the group a willingness to work hard but also the ability to keep my priorities in check. I look forward to working with the group to provide real estate service that we can be proud of.
I have been a resident of Lawrence Township for 25 years and enjoy spending time with my family and friends, whether it is boating on Geist or just relaxing at home!!
