In a decade-long journey in the male-dominated field of commercial real estate appraising, Cara Keys has found her calling with Keys Valuation in Harpers Ferry. Following a realization that the human resources path was not suited for her, Keys transitioned to appraising to achieve a work-life balance while actively participating in her community. Now, as a mother of four and the Shepherdstown District representative on the Jefferson County Commission, she emphasizes the importance of aligning career choices with lifestyle preferences. Keys encourages others to reflect on their desired work-life balance to pave their own paths, underscoring her commitment to community involvement and support within the local area.
