Beach-Ferrara currently serves as a member of the Buncombe County Commission. She was first elected in 2016 and re-elected in 2020. Outside of elected office she is the founding Executive Director of the Campaign for Southern Equality, an LGBTQ advocacy organization that mobilizes against threats to equality in southern states.
