She now has a fully electric home! She is a proud owner of an electric vehicle, a Kia Niro fondly known as the HVGreen Machine. "If you're going to talk the talk, you have to walk the walk. Having personally done all these projects is going to help me better help the next person looking to do the same."

Marcy is an advocate for consumer outreach and frequently presents at local engagements about the importance of creating healthier and more climate resilient homes. 

When asked about her background, Marcy often jokes, "I've led a bit of a 007 life." In her younger years, she was a professional ballet dancer with Houston Ballet, a FAA certified pilot and airplane owner, FAA aircraft dispatcher, and senior customer experience manager for a major retailer. More recently, Marcy has been a dance instructor, owner / operator of a drone photography service, and of course, a Green Realtor. She still enjoys dancing when time permits. "It's the one thing that truly makes my soul happy."
