I was born and raised in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. I attended James Madison University where I fell in love with Virginia and decided to stay. I graduated from James Madison University in May 2019 with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. After graduating from James Madison University, I moved to Prince William County and began working at The Hopkins Law Firm here in Gainesville. While working as a paralegal I attended law school and graduated with my Juris Doctor (J.D.) from Catholic University in May 2024. Outside of the office, I like to spend time with my Olde English bulldog named Patsy, read non-fiction books, and cook.
