Background


Jennifer began her career in the legal profession as a legal and administrative assistant at a boutique law firm in Alpharetta, Georgia, in 2014. Though she had more than ten years of experience in office administration and office management, she was always fascinated with the field of law. When a happy accident provided
Jennifer with chance the to work in a family law firm, she seized the opportunity. In short order, Jennifer was transitioned to the role of paralegal and became more involved with the clients. It was then she realized that the hardships and emotional weight of her own divorce and custody issues could be turned into passionate support for her clients and their children as they navigate the process of domestic litigation.

In 2018, after years of on-the-job training, Jennifer's firm partners invested in her future and sent her to attend the University of Georgia Paralegal Certificate Course. While not focused on family law specifically, exposure to how other disciplines practiced provided unique insight as to how researching the law, preparing for litigation, and executing discovery would cross over into family law and expand her development as a professional.

Though born in New Jersey, Jennifer considers herself "basically a native" of Georgia. She was raised in Gwinnett County and attended Brookwood High School. In her early years after high school, the winds took Jennifer to Miami, Florida and later to Jacksonville, North Carolina. As a wise woman once said, however, "There's no place like home", and she returned to her hometown of Lilburn in 2000 to raise her infant son, Max, the King of All Wild Things. If money and time were no object, she would travel the world with a backpack and a camera, and when not globetrotting, buy all of the front row concert tickets. Since money and time are objects, Jennifer enjoys hiking, riding her bike on the Big Creek Greenway, and good meals with good friends, but most of all, she loves spending time with her two big white American Staffordshire Terriers, Moby and Bunny.
