About Me
- My motto: It Happens Fast.
- The best thing about Ward and Smith is: The people. From the time I was a summer associate, Ward and Smith has surrounded me with people who truly care about my professional development and my growth as an attorney. The support I have received from the entire team at each office has been invaluable as a new associate.
- One surprising thing people don't know about me is: I completed multiple solo flights while I was in high school. While I have not yet obtained my private pilot's license, it is a goal that I hope to achieve one day. Because my dad was a pilot himself, I grew up around airplanes and never passed up a chance to fly when I could.
- Where I'd most like to live and why: Asheville, North Carolina. I grew up in Asheville, and the Blue Ridge Mountains have always been home to me. Not only is the local food scene amazing, but the natural beauty of western North Carolina
