I was born and raised in Alabama but moved to North Carolina to attend The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. The summer before attending college, I worked at the YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly in Black Mountain and immediately fell in love with the area.  Upon graduation from UNCG, I jumped in my car and drove straight to Asheville.  I obtained a teaching job in Hendersonville teaching English as a Foreign Language, which fueled my love for traveling and experiencing a wide variety of cultures, languages and architecture. Almost 25 years later, I invested in the area and bought my first house in 2022.

Education is a natural part of buying or selling real estate, be it the first-time home buyer, mountain home getaway, or the investor looking to capitalize on the many opportunities available. Homeownership is the easiest and fastest way to build equity and a clever path to building a generational wealth legacy. Whether you are selling or buying property, I will be at your side guiding the deal with patience, knowledge, and tenacity which is crucial in getting the deal done.

 I spend my downtime gardening, sowing seeds and occasionally buying starts called by the seduction of a good garden shop and volunteering at the local community garden. I am hoping one day my teenagers will have the desire to help with the garden projects, alas, they are teenagers.  I have hope.

I moved both my parents to Asheville from Alabama in 2023, doting on them at the assisted living facility and the memory care facility. My personal experience with this life-changing event can benefit clients who find themselves facing the same life challenge.
