I am a member of the State Bar of Georgia and past president of the Rome Bar Association. I am a graduate of the 2011 State Bar YLD Leadership Academy and a 2015 graduate of Leadership Rome (LRXXXII).  

I'm honored to serve on the Board of Directors for the Greater Rome Chamber of Commerce as well as being a board member for both The Free Clinic of Rome (now Faith & Deeds Commnity Healthcare) and Cancer Navigators, as I am a grateful two-time lymphoma survivor.

I'm a sustaining member of the Junior Service League of Rome, involved in Scouting, play in the backup band for my middle schoolers' show choir, "Grand Illusion," and an the chapter founder and leader for Rome's "Moms RUN This Town" running club for women.  My family and I are active parishoners at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Rome, where I serve as a lector and a eucharistic minister. I could not manage life without my brilliant and patient husband Will and my hilarious tweens. 

(Will & JJ live in Rome with their 12 & 13 year old children, Cole & Carson Claire, their two dogs, Gibson & Walter J. and a fish named Jorge.)
