Cheryl has never shied away from a challenge and trying new things is at the core of who she is. At the age of 18, Cheryl set out to make her own way; moving across the country from a small town in Michigan, putting herself through college, and earning a U.S. Army Reserve scholarship along the way. When her unit was called to active duty, she lived outside the U.S. for the first time, igniting her curiosity about meeting new people and the places they choose to live and work. Cheryl's fascination with real estate started in much the same way. From buying her first house in Indianapolis, nearly three decades ago, to renovating her home in Northern Virginia and managing her own rental properties here in the Triangle, she became obsessed with finding and creating the ideal places to live. The opportunity to partner with commercial real estate clients, from small business owners to professionals and investors, to find their ideal places to work, presents a challenge that Cheryl is prepared to meet. With a B.S. in chemical engineering from N.C. State and professional engineering credentials in three states and Puerto Rico, she developed a strong, technical knowledge base over the past 25 years. Cheryl has direct experience in all phases of project delivery, from concept through design, construction, operation, and maintenance. Optimal site selection, technical analysis, and attention to detail are key principles she uses to advise clients with their analysis and ultimately, with their decision to take the leap on just the right place to grow their current business ideas into reality. Cheryl also gets excited about biking, yoga, walking, reading, making art and playing video games with her tween, helping out the school drama club, and scrolling Twitter.
