What have you enjoyed about being an attorney? I was initially drawn to the profession by how attorneys’ approach and solve problems. As I went through law school and eventually began practicing law, I quickly found that the most fulfilling aspect of being a lawyer is the ability to make a difference in the lives of your clients.
Why did you choose to work at Craige Jenkins? I was fortunate enough to work at the Craige Jenkins through Wake Forest Law’s Litigation Externship Clinic in my final semester. During that time, I was introduced the wonderful attorneys and staff and exposed to the firm’s litigation practice. I felt welcome from my first day and knew it would be a great place to begin my legal career. When I was offered a role working in litigation, particularly focusing on domestic relations, I did not hesitate to accept.
Favorite hobbies? I love sports and all things related to the Florida Gators. I also enjoy going hiking in North Carolina’s mountains, watching movies, and participating in trivia contests.
Favorite Winston-Salem Landmark? Reynolda Gardens and the Graylyn Estate
