Originally from southern Maryland, my first experience with a law firm was as a legal receptionist at Devine & Fanning, a small law firm that, much like Black & Graham, practiced both family and criminal law.

I maintained that position through high school and then joined the United States Army as a 37F, Psychological Operations Specialist, and was assigned to Fort Bragg, NC. The Army enabled me to do things I truly never imagined doing; I learned the Korean language at the Special Operations Academic Facility, spent time in Korea working with the natives as well as briefing Combined Psychological Operations Task Force commanders, and was paid to jump out of perfectly good airplanes. But the most important thing the Army taught me was my love for working with and helping others. That is why I have found my way back to a law office, working with attorneys who I have a deep respect for and helping our clients in any and every way that I can.

When you come to our law office, whether it be for a criminal or family case, alot of communication will be done through the legal assistants, and that's where I come in. Whether it is a simple question or a detailed inquiry that requires one-on-one time, I am here for our clients. And although I will not be able to answer every inquiry one may have, I will dedicate time to working with both the client and the attorney on finding the answer.
