Born in Eastern North Carolina, my parents owned their own pharmacy and taught me the importance of hard work and service to my community. As a childhood cancer survivor, I learned perserverance through difficulty. As a mother to a child with special needs, I understand compassion and the importance of fairness.

For over a decade, I have stood beside my clients to provide them the advice and representation they needed to navigate difficult circumstances. I have defended clients' rights and reputations in court, and I have helped them figure out the best plans for their families.

As a public servant, I represented fellow state employees and worked alongside state leaders. Today, at the North Carolina Innocence Inquiry Commission, I strive to ensure justice has been delivered fairly.

I have been married to my wonderful husband, Brentley, for 15 years. I'm a mother to two amazing daughters and three loving rescue pets. Besides work, you can find me most weeks at my clogging class at Graceful Expressions in downtown Cary or on one of our county's many greenways, out for a run.

Judges should be EXPERIENCED in the law.

Judges should be DEDICATED to public service.

Judges should be FAIR in their application of the law.
