I was born in the Bronx where I resided with my family until I moved to North Carolina in 1998. My parents and siblings still reside in the Bronx and I enjoy a white Christmas with them every year.

I moved to the tar heel state to attend college at Wake Forest University on an academic and merit scholarship. I graduated early from Wake with Honors.

Unsure whether to attend graduate school or law school I spent two (2) years living and working abroad. I spent nearly a year living and working in London and I was privileged enough to secure a grant to live in Costa Rica where I volunteered for Planned Parenthood and Colectiva Por el Derecho a Decidir. Prior to returning to North Carolina I spent several months in New Zealand working at a Lodge where I learned to enjoy hiking, fishing, and snorkeling.

I returned to North Carolina in 2002 to teach at Arts-Based Elementary School in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. My first grade class was comprised of sixteen (16) students who I miss dearly to this day. I also miss snacktime, storytime, and recess.

I attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Law as a Willis Whichard Scholar. At Carolina I was actively involved in student government, the Pro Bono Board, and the Domestic Violence Advocacy Group. I received the Ilene B. Nelson Grant for Child Advocacy and the Class of 2000 Public Interest Scholarship. I was also inducted into the Frank Porter Graham Honor Society and the Order of the Barristers. I earned my Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree in May, 2006.

I began working at a small general practice firm in Wilmington, North Carolina in May 2006, and was admitted to the North Carolina Bar in 2007. I was admitted to the District of Columbia Bar in 2009. I practice family law, juvenile law, and Immigration law. I also handle Department of Social Services cases. I am a member of the Family Law Sections of the American Bar Association and the North Carolina Bar Association.

I was the chair of the Criminal Justice/Paralegal Department at Miller-Motte College where I taught aspiring paralegals for 8 years. I am also honored to teach various Continuing Legal Education classes in the areas of Family Law to other attorneys.

My husband and I live in Wilmington NC and are blessed to raise our children in this beautiful city. We attend St. Luke AME Zion Church.
