During my first year of law school, I competed in the Parham Williams Trial Competition and placed in the top 8 teams out of 30. This was my first experience in a courtroom and marked the beginning of my passion for litigating and advocating for clients. To further develop my skills, I took several advocacy-focused classes at Cumberland, aiming to understand what it takes to succeed as a trial lawyer. After my second year, I made one of my most rewarding decisions by joining Cumberland’s National Trial Team. While it’s uncommon to join as a third-year student, I embraced the challenge in the fall of 2024 and quickly found myself competing in two of the nation’s most demanding, invite-only competitions: Drexel’s Battle of the Experts in Philadelphia and the National Civil Trial Competition in Los Angeles. My team became finalists at the Battle in Philadelphia and earned the Professionalism Award at NCTC in Los Angeles. In the following semester, I won the 2025 American Association of Justice Regional Championship in Chicago and concluded my trial team journey as a quarterfinalist at the American Association of Justice National Competition in Atlanta. Beyond the trial team, I was a multiple-time Dean’s List honoree and actively participated in Cumberland’s intramural sports teams. After graduating, I joined Hollis Wright directly from law school and have dedicated my career to representing injured victims. When I’m not practicing law, I enjoy hunting, fishing, playing golf, and spending time with my family. One of my favorite pastimes is taking my chocolate Labrador retriever, Lyla, out on the river.
