Currently, I am honored to serve our community as councilwoman Place 6 in our wonderful town of Laguna Vista. I also volunteer on the MLS committee of the South Padre Island Board of Realtors. Previously, I sat on the Laguna Vista Recreational Association Board and volunteered on multiple committees for the Town of Laguna Vista (Board of Ethics, Planning & Zoning Committee). Owning various investment properties in Laguna Vista, real estate is a large part of my life. Originally from Germany (English/German bi-lingual), after finishing German High School and two years of accounting school, I completed my 3-year apprenticeship in hotel management. After moving to Canada in 1997, I worked side by side with my husband, who owned multiple McDonald’s Restaurants in Brandon, Mb, Canada. One winter, we escaped the bone-chilling cold and discovered south Texas - and never looked back! In 2008 we found our dream home in Laguna Vista and moved full time to the US. In 2015, I proudly became a US citizen. I love to paddleboard, go for coffee with my friends, and spoil my two rescue dogs in my free time. Since I started my career in 2012 as a REALTOR®, I represent Buyers and Sellers alike and very much enjoy both sides of the business.
