I was born and raised in Broward County, Florida in the small close-knit community of Carver Ranches.  Growing up in Carver Ranches was very much like being raised by a village, with neighbors looking out for one another.  My parents were a big part of this village.  My mother owned a salon in the community and my father, who started off as a volunteer fireman, went on to become one of the first African American Captains in the county.  They instilled in me the importance of hard work, family values and a strong sense of community.

I took those values with me to become a proud graduate of Georgia Tech and St. Thomas University School of Law.   Since graduating law school in 1994, I have spent the majority of my legal career as a solo practitioner.  I am also a registered mediator, arbitrator and trained Guardian ad-Litem.  My legal experience has included family law, juvenile law, criminal law, real estate and bankruptcy.  For the last several years, my work has mainly focused on representing children and families. I have a passion for young people and disrupting the school to prison pipeline that so many of our youth involved in the juvenile justice system have become entangled in.  My community and professional engagement includes; graduate of the Gwinnett Parent Leadership Institute; Executive Board Member and Vice President of the Georgia Association of Counsel for Children; Board Member of the Center for Navigating Family Change and a proud member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc, Rho Xi Zeta Chapter.
