From Hickory, North Carolina, to the beautiful shores of Coastal Virginia, my journey has been driven by creativity, family, and adventure. I discovered my passion for design and marketing at Appalachian State University, earning a degree in Apparel Design and Fashion Merchandising with a minor in Marketing in 2015. Eight years ago, I made Virginia my home, and I’ve loved every minute of it!
These days, I balance life with my husband, son, and our sweet dog, while staying active in the community—especially on the pickleball court with my favorite local groups. Ready to start my real estate career with The Agency, I’m excited to bring my passion for connection, creativity, and service to this dynamic team. Whether it’s enjoying family time or connecting with others, life here is full of energy, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
