What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my legal skills in a supportive environment, focusing on client advocacy and professional growth.

I am a dedicated legal professional with a Juris Doctor degree from Mississippi College School of Law, graduating magna cum laude. My academic journey has been marked by my commitment to excellence, as evidenced by my place on the Dean's List and receiving the prestigious Carol C. West Award. I have honed my skills through various roles, including serving as a Staff Editor for the Mississippi College Law Review, where I developed a keen eye for detail and a passion for legal writing.

My professional experience includes volunteering at MissionFirst Legal Aid, where I enhanced operations by conducting client intake interviews and aiding in litigation tasks. I have also worked as a Law Clerk at Morgan & Morgan, where I provided in-depth analysis of discovery materials and facilitated decision-making processes for senior attorneys. My ability to conduct thorough legal research and communicate effectively has been instrumental in my roles, ensuring timely case resolutions and improved client satisfaction.
