As a resident of Quincy, Illinois and a Missouri native, Valerie understands the unique character, values, and lifestyle of communities on both sides of the river. Being licensed in both Illinois and Missouri allows her to seamlessly guide clients through buying and selling across state lines, ensuring every detail is handled with confidence and expertise.

Before transitioning into real estate, Valerie spent more than fifteen years in the healthcare industry and served as Director of the Wound, Hyperbaric and Diabetes Centers at Blessing Health System. Her extensive background in healthcare shaped who she is professionally — compassionate, detail-oriented, and fully committed to serving others during important life transitions. Supporting patients, physicians and leading care teams strengthened her ability to listen closely, communicate clearly, and advocate fiercely — skills she now brings to every real estate transaction.

Valerie is passionate about walking alongside her clients through every step of their buying and selling journey. Her greatest joy is helping others and building trusting, lifelong relationships that extend far beyond the closing table. She holds a special appreciation for those in the healthcare field and takes particular pride in helping medical professionals and their families relocate to and from the area, making each move as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Valerie and her husband, Jake, have lived in Quincy for over twenty years and have three children. They are actively involved in the Quincy and Hannibal communities and enjoy spending time at Mark Twain Lake with family and friends.

Whether you’re moving across town or across state lines, Valerie is dedicated to providing knowledgeable guidance, personalized service, and unwavering support— because to her, real estate is not just about property, it’s about the people she serves.
