Q&A
Because my mom is an attorney. She went to law school when I was in middle school, and I thought it was the greatest thing a person could do.
I like meeting clients from different walks of life and learning about their businesses, their families, and how we might be able to help them. I think I learn a lot from my clients.
I worked for Craige Jenkins for a little while in law school, and I was impressed with all of the attorneys and the focus on the clients.
Running, reading science fiction novels, playing xbox, reading comics (especially Deadpool) and horseback riding
Japan, 2005, with my husband to visit a law school classmate. It was really great to be in a culture that was so different from American culture.
I’m the chair of the Estate Planning and Fiduciary Law Section’s legislative committee right now. I get to work with a bunch of really smart lawyers who are trying to make North Carolina’s laws fairer and more efficient. It’s really a lot of fun.
