I was born and raised in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Spending my childhood in Mars Hill and later in North Asheville and the Candler area and now in Weaverville, I am a mountain girl at heart. Although college and life took me to Raleigh for 25 years, my family and these beautiful mountains called me back home. 

After attaining my Business Management/Marketing degree from NC State (Go Pack!), I explored many different areas before Real Estate found me. As I was pursuing a second degree in Interior Design/Art, I took a position with a builder and the rest is history. Whether it be new construction or finding the perfect piece of land, a downtown bungalow, a well-loved home, or if investment is your goal, with 20 years of real estate experience in a variety of areas, I am capable and happy to assist you in finding the "right" property or in your endeavor to sell and move on to your next journey. 

Cindy Ward, owner of Weaverville Realty, helped my family a few years ago while I was in Raleigh and I found her be both knowledgeable and ethical, as well as a generally nice person. When I moved home, the choice for me was simple. 

Anyone who knows me, knows my love for dogs. So much so that when I found myself with an extremely fearful puppy, I wanted to learn as much as I could and ended up a certified dog trainer. I also love traveling, good food, exploring, learning, art, getting to know new people, and spending time with family and friends. Loving the coast almost as much as the mountains, there is no better place to be for me than this diverse and thriving state we call home. 

I am blessed to be from these Blue Ridge Mountains and live in this beautiful state. I look forward to helping you in any way I can and being a part of your journey, whether a native or new to these majestic mountains.
