I joined NALS in 1995 as a new legal secretary with Nelson Mullins Law Firm. I had so much to learn! Through the years I moved to various positions within the firm and found I LOVED the HR functions of a law firm. I have held positions in Law Student recruiting, Attorney Recruiting and Development, Marketing, HR generalist, and am current the Firm’s Benefits Supervisor in HR. I remain a member so I can continue to learn about all areas of a law firm practice. I hold an Accredited Legal Professional designation with NALS. I continue my legal education requirements each year, earning over 15 hours of education in HR topics, Ethics, State and Federal Courts, Plaintiffs’ litigation, Defense Litigation, Bankruptcy, and Real Estate to name a few. I always want to be current on legal topics and procedures . . . you never know what area of the law I will work in next!

LSPM is such a fantastic group. I could have never found better professionals or friends here. There's such a positive camaraderie that cannot be matched. I joined this association to grow professionally and network, but little did I know I would make forever friends.
