His Duke journey: Duke is a place that recognizes education happens just as much outside the classroom as within it. Some of my most formative experiences came from approaching relationships – with professors, classmates, friends, mentors, and alumni – with the same enthusiasm and curiosity that I brought to my coursework. Through Duke Law’s externship program, I had the invaluable opportunity to shadow judges and federal prosecutors, which helped lay the foundation for my legal career. And time and again, I’ve turned to Duke’s remarkable network for support, guidance, and opportunities that have shaped me both personally and professionally.”

Path to success:  I work to give clients clarity and practical solutions to their most complex legal challenges. I take pride in being the person they can turn to when the stakes are high and the path forward is uncertain.  I also focus on creating opportunities for our younger attorneys.
