My life’s work is devoted to the development and growth of people and companies. It gives me great joy to connect people’s gifts and passions with their callings and careers. I am no stranger to, and in fact, I welcome change, challenge and opportunities for growth.

As a certified human resource professional, I have a diverse background of executive experience and leadership positions in media, corporations, hospitals, private law practices and court systems, charities, foundations, non-profits and youth programs working with employees, customers, clients, readers and the general public. My company, C3 Career Care, was built upon exceptionally strong life transition and interpersonal communication skills, with a focus in motivating and coaching clients and employees entering, exiting or transitioning to/from jobs.

Prior to forming C3 Career Care, I spent almost 20 years in human resources at the Independent-Mail newspaper, 10 years as a corporate law and civil litigation paralegal and served as Deputy Clerk of the US District Court and Assistant to the US Magistrate in Asheville, NC.
I completed high school at St. Mary’s School, Raleigh, NC, graduated from NC State University with a BA degree in Sociology/Criminal Justice, and earned a paralegal degree with a concentration in civil and criminal litigation from the National Center for Paralegal Training in Atlanta, Ga.

My husband, Ted and I live on Lake Hartwell and have two grown sons, a daughter-in-law, and two granddaughters all living in Asheville, NC. I am a voracious reader and writer, have a passion for cooking and entertaining, and enjoy playing in my church’s handbell choir. Most of all, I adore sharing the lake with family and friends, most especially my granddaughters.
