What is your favorite thing about the law?
My favorite thing about the law is a combination of its rich past and its exciting future. As lawyers and as citizens, we are guided by the laws created by our predecessors, but we also have an opportunity to influence future laws. It is an honor to be a part of such a dynamic profession.
What are your hobbies?
Before law school, I worked in the hospitality industry as a catering and conference services manager. Essentially, I planned parties for a living. My current hobbies reflect the fondness that I still have for that business. I enjoy experimenting with new foods and recipes, entertaining friends and family, and discovering interesting restaurants in the Jackson area and beyond. I also love music of all kinds. Attending concerts and music festivals is another of my favorite pastimes.
What advice would you give to a young student in law school?
My advice to any law student would be to make the most of his or her time in school. Get involved. Accept as many externships and clerkships—paid or unpaid—that you can. The professional and personal relationships that you build during law school, with students, faculty, attorneys and judges, will be invaluable to you as you enter the job market and when you are in practice.
