Biography

I am a civil litigation attorney with a focus on personal injury, premises liability, auto liability, and insurance defense. I hold undergraduate degrees in Accounting and Finance from Pensacola Christian College, where I graduated summa cum laude. I completed my law degree at Florida State University College of Law in 2020, graduating with honors and earning a Business Law Certificate.

My professional background extends beyond the legal field, as I have also gained experience in financial operations. I have a keen interest in data transformation and presentation, cybersecurity, and AI. Before joining St. Denis & Davey, I worked for several insurance defense firms, handling cases related to premises liability, auto liability, wrongful death, and Florida subcontractor defense.

During my time in law school, I was an active member of the William H. Stafford Inn of Court and participated in the FSU Business Law Society’s Negotiation Team. In 2019, our team advanced to the regional semifinals. Additionally, I interned at Paul Davis Restoration, Inc. and the Leon County Attorney’s Office, which provided me with valuable insights and practical experience in the field.
