People would be surprised to know…
Before deciding to pursue law, I was studying Biochemistry and Molecular Biology with plans to go to medical school. However, as part of my studies I took a course on medical malpractice and fell in love with the combination of medicine and law.

What’s on your bucket list?
On my short list is skydiving, which I hope to check off in the very near future. Long term, I would love to learn how to sail and go sailing around Lake Como, Italy.

What’s the first thing you do in the morning?
I like to start my mornings off with a workout, whether it be at the gym or out on a walk/run with my dog. On the weekends, I love getting up in time to go for a sunrise hike to the top of one of the many peaks available in Southwest Virginia.
