A little bit about me...
I have been blessed to call Cashiers home my entire life. Growing up here gave me a deep understanding of this area, its neighborhoods, and the mountain lifestyle that makes the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau so special. Real estate is personal to me because I know buying or selling a home is one of life’s most important decisions.
My path to real estate has given me a broad, hands-on perspective. I graduated from Western Carolina University with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics, then spent more than a decade as a Registered Dietitian at Highlands-Cashiers Hospital and as a healthcare consultant. That work taught me how to listen carefully, communicate clearly, and solve problems with care. I also spent over eight years in vacation rental property management and have experience with investment properties, construction, renovation, buying, and selling homes myself.
My husband, Jeff, is also a lifelong Cashiers resident and a grading contractor with over 30 years of experience. Together, we have raised two sons here, co-own The Cashiers Store, and are proud to support this community. Outside of work, I enjoy fitness, the outdoors, local businesses, and time with our family and three dogs, Deuce, Jeter, and Bo.
