As a Western North Carolina native, I have called many of our local communities home. I was born and raised in Burnsville. After marrying, I moved to Leicester for a few years and then lived in Haywood County for 15 years before recently moving back to Leicester. I am deeply rooted in my faith and consider one of my biggest passions to be serving with my church and my community.
I began my career in an administrative role in 2005. I obtained my real estate license in 2006, and worked as an agent services representative until 2020. Having worked with Michelle since 2015, I have loved getting to know her clients while building a clientele of my own. My real estate career is a culmination of relationship building, empathy with clients' situations and needs, and the ability to manage multiple projects at the same time.

As a Western North Carolina native, I have had the privilege of calling many of our local communities home. My deep roots in the Buncombe, Haywood, and Yancey Counties have given me a unique perspective on the communities I love and serve.
I began my real estate career in 2005 in an administrative role and obtained my real estate license in 2006. Since 2015, I’ve had the pleasure of working along Michelle McElroy helping numerous clients achieve their real estate goals while providing professional guidance and excellent client care. My ultimate goal in real estate is to make the buying or selling process as smooth and stress free as possible. I am committed to delivering exceptional customer service, maintaining clear and consistent communication, and bringing a friendly, positive attitude—all while building relationships that last a lifetime.
When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy spending time on our family’s highland cow farm where we also care for horses, goats, and chickens. Our family embraces the homesteading lifestyle and takes pride in living off our land. I'm also a proud mom of two amazing boys — one is a senior preparing for college to pursue collegiate bass fishing and veterinary medicine, and the other is an active 14 year old who loves sports. Faith and service are central to my life. Through our local church’s ministry where my husband is the pastor, my family and I are passionate about serving our community—whether through our food pantry or by providing disaster relief when needed. This heart for helping others is something I carry into my real estate career, where I strive to guide clients with compassion, dedication, and care.
