Carolyn grew up in Boone, North Carolina and attended Appalachian State University for AP classes in History.  She then moved to Banner Elk for Junior College and attended Lees MacRae to receive her Associate of Arts.  Upon graduation from Chapel Hill University with a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies, she moved to Atlanta and worked for an import/export company.  After a short stint in Washington DC, she moved to California and then returned to North Carolina in 2001.

 

As a native of Western North Carolina, Carolyn has had the pleasure of observing the region's significant growth in both population and resort living options, drawing visitors and residents from across the globe.

 

Having spent nearly eight years in San Francisco and worked with a pioneer in the wine industry, she is particularly excited that parts of Western North Carolina are now developing and cultivating vineyards that produce award-winning varietals. This perfectly complements Asheville's reputation as a "foodie" destination and its strong farm-to-table movement.

 

Whether you're interested in entertainment, diverse culinary experiences, excellent spas, or exceptional golf courses, Carolyn would be delighted to show you the many opportunities that Western North Carolina has to offer.
