Georgia-born and Virginia-raised, I am the daughter of a retired Army colonel and a local realtor. While I lived on military bases throughout the country, Virginia Beach is where I have been the longest (I am a Cox High School graduate) and I am proud to call it home. I now practice at a boutique law firm in Virginia Beach, my areas of practice include Family Law, Estate Planning, Real Estate, Small Business Organization, among others.
In whatever spare time I have, I love to read, travel, and learn to cook new dishes (including some from my mother's native country, South Korea). However, always an American history buff at heart (my father's family came to Massachusetts in 1630 from England), I am carrying on the Lord family tradition and am in the process of becoming a Junior Member of the Daughters of the American Revolution - Francis Land Chapter.
