From the very first time I was asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” my answer has never wavered. Becoming an attorney has always been my dream—one I carried in my heart long before I fully understood the true beauty and passion of this work.

Yet, my quiet, peacekeeping nature led many to believe that my dream and my personality could not coexist. They doubted that someone like me could thrive. What I didn’t realize then was that this very nature—my ability to listen, mediate, and treat your cares like my own—would become my greatest strength.

With unwavering support from my family, a steadfast belief in the saying, “Everything happens for a reason,” and a dedication to the dream I never let go of, that vision has become my reality.

I carried this dream and ambition to the beautiful town of Boone, where I pursued a degree in Political Science at Appalachian State University. From there, I continued my journey at Mercer University’s Walter F. George School of Law, where I immersed myself in every facet of the legal world. Law school opened countless doors, giving me the opportunity to explore many areas of the law. But it wasn’t until after graduation that I truly found my purpose—helping people secure their futures. Whether through real estate or guiding families with estates and trusts, I realized that the heart of my work is providing peace of mind and lasting security for those I serve.

There is something deeply fulfilling about helping someone achieve their dream of homeownership or purchase the perfect property to start their business. I find joy in piecing together the puzzle that includes the intricate history of each property, uncovering the stories woven into the land, and connecting those pieces to new beginnings. Being a part of that journey—helping turn dreams into reality—is the foundation of my work.
