After being raised in Lexington and attending the University of Kentucky with a focus in art history, classical music performance, art studio, and Italian, Beth moved to Washington, DC where she started her journey as Vice President of Marketing at Showhomes of America, a franchise system that assists Realtors and homeowners sell their listings by transforming high-end vacant houses into fully-furnished, inviting, ready-for-market residences.  She gained invaluable experience in short-term rentals through interactions with brokers, agents, homeowners, home managers, inspectors, and interior decorators.

Thereafter, she worked for a merchant bank and private equity fund management company, with a real estate investment and development division. She was an Executive Assistant to firm Directors, followed by her duties as Fund Coordinator to senior management and officers, and executed all aspects of facilities management for the firm. More recently, she has served as an Executive and Personal Assistant for a private art collector and corporate real estate investor, and as an administrator for a family foundation. From her more than 25 years of experience, she understands the importance of being proactive, resourceful, and flexible. She has honed the skills that enable her to anticipate obstacles, prioritize overlapping needs and requests, and be prepared with effective alternate plans. Additionally, her years of working in the high-intensity area of Washington, DC is an expanded and invaluable asset to anybody needing guidance in the real estate world. Currently, she is assisting with a multimillion dollar construction project for a high-end home in Aspen, Colorado.

Beth is strongly rooted in Tennessee, hailing from a family of six generations between Nashville and Knoxville. Her love of the land, mountains, rivers, lakes, and people is what motivates her to bring the highest level of service to The LBBA Group's clients.
