About Me

I am privileged to be married to my husband, Bill, for an incredible 37 years. He is a Certified Public Accountant at Carr, Riggs & Ingram, and together, we raised two wonderful daughters. Our oldest daughter is an attorney in Raleigh, and our younger recently attained her Master's in Accounting from UNC-Chapel Hill. It has been an absolute pleasure to watch them blossom into thriving adulthood
