I am a retired educator enjoying a second career as a Realtor. I was born and raised in a small community in Southern Middle Tennessee on a beef cattle farm, so I am a country girl at heart. After spending 30 years in education as a teacher and administrator, my husband, Graham, and I decided to move to north Georgia. We love living in the foothills of the mountains. I have two sons, a daughter-in-law, and one granddaughter. My hobbies include cooking, gardening, and crafting. I love to travel, and like to always have a trip in the works!
