The best thing about Ward and Smith is…The community. Everyone here truly cares about the people they work with. The culture here makes it easy to come to work every day knowing there is a focus on teamwork and dedication to our clients.
One surprising thing people don’t know about me is…I spent a year working at Walt Disney World. While there, I learned valuable customer service skills from a leader in the industry.
Where I’d most like to live and why: Here in Raleigh! I was born and raised in Raleigh, making it an easy decision to move back following law school. Raleigh is truly home to me, and it is exciting to see the continued growth here in the Triangle.
