I started  Botwin & Company in 1986 with my parents as a property management company. Today, Botwin Commercial Development and Botwin Property Management includes over 300,000 square feet of commercial real estate in the Crossroads District and the Waldo neighborhood of Kansas City, MO, Bonner Springs, KS, Leawood KS, Topeka, KS and southern Kansas City. My focus is to provide neighborhood sensitive commercial development. I am dedicated to sustainable, environmentally friendly design. I love native prairie grasses, windows that open and planted roofs. I also think businesses should support the local art scene and so I have commissioned local artists like Jim Woodfill, Marcie Miller Gross, and Anne Lindberg to incorporate their visions into my buildings.

I have a BFA in music from Newcomb College at Tulane University and a law degree from the University of Missouri Kansas City School of Law. I hate bullying and love collaboration. I think you should do your homework and show up prepared, be accountable and open minded. I adore my staff and enjoy coming to work every single day.

I joined Diane and Jamie as the Office Administrator for Botwin Property Management in the summer of 2003. Surprisingly, I've found that I enjoy the accounting portion of my position enormously, but not nearly as much as I enjoy the relationships I've developed with our tenants. We have such a richly varied assortment of businesses and people that we work with that no two hours in a day are ever the same. I appreciate our efforts to be thoughtful and sensitive to our tenants' needs.

I started working for Botwin Property Management in March of 2000. I was hired as an Office Assistant but quickly found that I enjoyed being out in the field and involved in the day-to-day operations of the properties. This enjoyment lead to my promotion as Property Administrator. My job is regularly unpredictable and involves a lot of problem solving, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love coming to work each morning and working as a team with my co-workers.
