About

Get To Know Me

I was born and raised in Fayetteville, North Carolina but I chose Durham as my home 31 years ago because it was the community where I wanted to raise my family and dedicate my life to public service.

After earning my degree in Political Science from UNC Chapel Hill and my law degree from North Carolina Central University, I interned at the Land Loss Prevention Project, supporting farmers in crisis. I later served as a law clerk at the Industrial Commission and then as an Assistant Attorney General representing the Commission statewide. In 2005, I was appointed Deputy Commissioner of the Industrial Commission, presiding over contested claims under the Workers’ Compensation Act and the Tort Claims Act.

In 2018, Governor Roy Cooper appointed me to the Full Commission to fill a vacancy, and in 2019 he designated me Vice-Chair. I’ve now been confirmed by the General Assembly twice, currently serving my second term. Outside the courtroom, I enjoy walking my dog and spending time with neighbors.
