I’m originally a beach girl from Wilmington who moved to the “big city” of Charlotte after college. Not long afterwards, I met my future husband, got married, raised two wonderful daughters, and now we love being empty nesters!

In 1983, John Chalk introduced me to a local custom home builder who needed an administrative assistant which started my career in real estate. And 20 years later I came to work for John Chalk and Dan Cottingham at Cottingham Chalk & Associates! It’s been exciting to serve in the past as their Marketing Director, Developer Services Administrator and since 2014 as the Relocation Director.

When I’m not connecting buyers and sellers with Cottingham Chalk agents, I enjoy exercising at the Harris YMCA, running, reading on the beach, and spending time with family. I’m active in several professional organizations and volunteer on numerous committees at our church.

Q: Why do you like working in real estate?

A: Serving in the relocation industry has been tremendously rewarding as I have daily opportunities to develop corporate and broker-to-broker business for the agency.

Q: What do you love about Charlotte?

A: Charlotte is a big city with a small town feel. And being located 3 hours from the beach and 2 hours from the mountains makes it easy to plan a quick getaway!

Q: Something no one would guess about you?

A: When the Carolina Panthers played the Dallas Cowboys in a playoff game, my then coworkers and I dressed in black and white “jailbird” uniforms at the game and our picture appeared on the sports page of many large newspapers.
