Positions, committee service and other activities

I am actively engaged in the residential real estate industry, with my primary focus centered on representing buyers and sellers in Western North Carolina. My work emphasizes relationship building, client advocacy, marketing, negotiations, and guiding clients through the transaction process from start to finish.

In addition, I serve as Team Leader of the Boyd & Green Real Estate Group, where I focus on leadership, mentoring, team development, collaboration, and helping cultivate a high level of professionalism and client service within our team environment.

Real estate is my full-time profession and a career I truly enjoy because it allows me to build relationships and help people through some of life's most important decisions. In my free time, you'll most often find me outdoors hiking, camping, biking, listening to live music or exploring new places through travel. I value lifelong learning, meaningful connections, and giving back to the profession and communities I serve.
