Office Manager

As a military child, Sully has lived in five different States and Germany, so we consider ourselves fortunate that she chose to settle in Charlotte. Her passion for people includes meeting families from different cultures and countries. Sully is currently working towards her bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, and when she does have spare time she enjoys hiking, traveling, and time with her family … but nothing is as important as caring for her furbaby Ella.
