2019 Distinguished Alumni

I am so beyond honored to receive a mention as a distinguished alumni! I am very proud of my roots, which have been a main launching point for my career. After school, I went to Bradley University in Peoria for my first degree. I received a Bachelors of Science in advertising and marketing. After graduating, I moved to the city, where I worked full time in advertising and attained by Master's degree from National-Louis in education. I knew I wanted to teach, but in what capacity I was not sure. Since early in my life I knew I always wanted to be a real estate agent. Starting my own business was something I was never totally sure about, it was a huge risk. I had the voice of my amazing, special, couragious and extremely supportive Mom (who you all know really well) and Dad in the back of my head saying "you can do it, you can do it". They were a big force, along with all of my years of schooling and supportive teachers, to push myself to be the best I can be. Since starting my real estate career I have not only sold over 100 homes in a short period of time, but I have also achieved top real estate agent award with-in my brand. I am a top 15 producing agent out of over 500 d'aprile agents. I am well on my way to becoming a top producing agent in the entire Chicago-land area. As an alumni, I want students to know you have an amazing, supportive staff and teachers (especially my mom, Mrs. Cozzi) that want nothing more than to see you succeed. We all believe in you, and I am excited to see the future alumnis mentioned in this prestigious award! Thank you so much for this honor it means the world to me!
