As a Knox College graduate with majors in International Relations and Spanish Language, I discovered a passion for helping people early on in my life. After spending 10 years in the medical service industry, I decided to turn my ambitions and passions toward helping people find their dream homes. Being born abroad, I also had the luck of being able to visit many different European countries which made me gain an appreciation for intricate design and architecture. This passion for aesthetics coupled with my passion of helping people only made my transition to a real estate career more natural. Joining @properties came as an easy decision because working with the best in the business is the only choice in real estate today. @properties shares my commitment to offering the most comprehensive and professional marketing, sophisticated technology, and expert market knowledge, supporting the highest standards of service and representation you expect and deserve. Purchasing or selling a home is one of the most important decisions of one's life and as a real estate agent I want to make that experience as comfortable and exciting for a client as possible.    Being fluent in three languages, Serbo-Croatian, Spanish, and English has opened the door for me to be able to pair prospective clients of many different cultures with their dream homes. As a linguaphile, I am constantly yearning to learn more languages in order to be able to connect with even more people. This love for language led me to purchase my first condominium in Albany Park, a neighborhood in Chicago which is commonly referred to as being one of the most diverse neighborhoods in all of the United States of America. Furthermore, my passion of public service led me to become an Illinois Notary Public officer. I also serve as a HOA board member.    I consider myself a person of very diverse interests. Some of those interests and hobbies include all forms of art; from visual and decorative arts to literature.  Being that I am an avid photography and architecture enthusiast, I love to visit museums nationally and internationally. In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball, learning a new language and spending time with my family and friends. I've lived in the Chicago area for the past 19 years and in the last six of those years in Albany Park.
