A typical day in my life includes…
a killer workout at Jeremy Scott Fitness, consuming a full pot of coffee, blast music while getting ready (sing a couple ballads, accept a couple awards), then head to my co-working space at The Emerald, answer emails, devour the MLS, set up showings, meetings with clients, scroll Instagram, plan dinner with the Hubs, wine, chill and repeat.
I was born…
to make people laugh with my random thoughts, general clumsiness and to be real & ridiculous.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
that everyday still feels like a vacation. I’m from Minnesota, but I’ve been living in Arizona for the past 9 years, and everyday still is the best day. Sunrise to sunsets, sunshine and palm tress. It doesn’t get much better than that.
I’m listening to…
Wild (LCAW Remix) by Hugo Helmig.
My family…
and my family of friends are my world. If they could stick by me through my ‘just not going to comb my hair’ and ‘over pluck my eyebrows’ phases, they are keepers.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Jim Gaffigan, every word out of his mouth is hilarious and there would be red velvet cake.
One thing I cannot live without…
my retainer? I am NOT going back to the “before” braces…
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
a fashion designer. As far back as I can remember, I was drawing designs in notebooks and creating my own clothing. Adding safety pins, spray painting, glitter, gluing fabric to shoes. Really fabulous stuff. And FYI, the smell of spray paint NEVER washes out of clothing.
I’m inspired by…
interior designers: they see things so differently than everyone else. They can take an empty room and create a feeling, mood and environment with just with furniture, lighting, color + texture. I am OBSESSED. *LifeStyledCo*
The one person who motivates me is…
my dad, he has owned his own business for 40+ years and he still wakes up every single day, excited to go to work. I want that.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
everyones extreme inability to follow ‘The Golden Rule’. It’s simple, and if everyone just treated others how they want to be treated, it would change the world.
The perfect day would be…
reliving the day I met my husband. We met randomly, partying in Nashville. He dared me to be his girlfriend for 24 hours and the rest is history!
My first job was…
waitressing at Mr. Pizza. Hands down, best pizza in all of Rochester, MN.
My favorite escape…
planning every detail of my dream home, on Pinterest.
My life…
is better than I could have ever dreamed.
I’m currently working on…
everything real estate! Helping my buyers hunt for homes, marketing my listings, working on my website, a Best of Scottsdale Blog, planning a Desert Babe-Baby Shower and a million other things #ThankYouADD
Always…
pour the champagne first, then add the OJ/fruit/etc.
Never…
let the fear of failure or embarrassment, stop you from TRYING.
Favorite Quote…
“Here’s to the crazy ones — the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things.” -Steve Jobs
Biggest Dream…
living that Golden Girls life: being able to retire young, with all of my best friends and family, living in a resort style community…or calorie free pizza. It’s a tie.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
the sound of fingernails being clipped. EW. I can’t even handle typing it.
