Sandy graduated from Jonesborough High School in 1967 and started a career as a Real Estate agent in 1979 and went on to own Coldwell Banker/ Security Real Estate in 1983. Sandy spent years enjoying her passion for the service she provided in real estate and sat on many real estate boards to serve the industry she loved.
