Her love of travel introduced her to different countries and cultures that have molded her into a well-rounded attorney. If she’s not working,she’s traveling. One of her favorite quotes is by Mark Twain.
She has worked for Miller Elder Law Firm for five years starting as a receptionist and advancing to law clerk and stays with the firm because of the company culture. Both attorneys serve as her mentors teaching, coaching, and empowering her toward becoming an associate.
