“I was raised in a very Christian household and strive to live and practice law by my faith each day. To me, this means providing candid legal advice, representing my clients with integrity, and meeting their personal needs with compassion and care. My background allows me to relate to and encourage my clients that are enduring one of the most trying chapters of their lives.”

She dedicated her pro bono service as the Pro Bono Intern of the Domestic Violence Unit of Legal Aid North Carolina where she advocated for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.
