I’ve been with Ogletree since 2010 and I am very fortunate to have found my home away from home. I worked my way up the associate ranks and made shareholder in 2018. I spearhead diversity and inclusion efforts for the Atlanta office, as well as the recruiting function and professional development initiatives. I enjoy the colleagues who I work with, the clients who I speak to on a daily basis, and the work that I do. Ogletree really provides a unique experience where I’m surrounded by a diverse and interesting group of intelligent attorneys who also know how to have a lot of fun. I look forward to office holiday parties, summer outings, and our annual retreat as I always know I’ll get to see old friends, make new ones, and create memories for years to come.
