I am a third generation attorney practicing in Gaston County North Carolina. I knew in the third grade that I wanted to practice law. After graduating from Campbell University Law School I served as an Assistant District Attorney for a year before beginning the private practice of law. My practice is limited to family law. I love helping clients find their own way under what most clients consider the most difficult time of their lives. I truly have a passion for helping others. When I'm not at the office I volunteer with local non-profits. I'm the only person ever elected to serve 2 terms as president of the Gastosn County Bar Association. I'm president elect of Gastonia East Rotary Club. My husband tells me that I've served on every committee at church and sometimes on multiple occassions! In my spare time. I love to bake, garden , and read. I've been married for over 34 years. My husband is a retired superior court judge and we have 2 great sons. Our oldest child is a literary agent in New York and our youngest is in medical school. It doesn't appear that we will have a 4th generation lawyer, but hope springs eternal with the possibility of grand children.
