I am an associate with Pender & Coward, P.C. focusing my practice on Wills, Trusts and Estate Planning and Administration.

I earned my Juris Doctor from the University of Richmond School of Law and hold a Bachelor of Science degree from Mary Washington College. I was admitted to practice in Virginia in 2004.

I am a member of the Virginia State Bar, the Virginia Beach Bar Association, the Norfolk-Portsmouth Bar Association and the Virginia Women Attorneys Association. I am also a member of several community organizations, including the Future Leadership Partners of the Hampton Roads Community Foundation, West Ghent Civic League and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.

 I have co-authored articles, including “Estate Administration Procedures: Why Each Step Is Important,” National Business Institute, Inc. (2011); "Premarital Issues in Second Marriages: What to Plan for the Second Time Round," National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, Inc.
