How long have you been with your current employer? 6 years
Alma Mater: Bachelor’s Degree: NC Wesleyan University / Master’s Degree: Montreat College

Current job responsibilities: I have the privilege of supporting two great companies—Sheally Insurance Group and Valor Pro Assist. At Sheally, I manage a Commercial Insurance portfolio while also streamlining operations and creating efficiencies for our team. This work led to the launch of Valor Pro Assist, a fast-growing virtual assistant company, where I serve as COO. At Valor, I focus on scaling operations, developing technology, and ensuring both our staff and clients have the support they need to succeed.
Hobbies: Most of my free time is spent watching my 8-year-old daughter twirl her way through dance classes and chasing her around in between. I also steal moments with my husband whenever possible during this crazy season of life and squeeze in workouts before the sun comes up.
