Founder at Bery Law | Civil Litigation & Family Attorney

2015 Austin Peay State University, B.S.

My path to law was anything but linear—it was built through hard work, life experience, and a clear sense of purpose. I immigrated to the U.S. at nine navigated the naturalization process on my own at 18, without legal representation. Years later, I had the opportunity to help guide my parents through the final stages of their own journey, this time as both their daughter and an attorney. That experience continues to shape how I practice law: with persistence, empathy, and deep respect for the people I serve.

Before law school, I worked full-time through college—first as a bank teller, then as an area manager for three restaurant locations—all while interning in politics and completing my degree. I understand the value of hard work and the importance of staying grounded, no matter the title.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Political Science from Austin Peay State University in 2015, graduating magna cum laude in just three years.

2020 Nashville School of Law, J.D.

I chose Nashville School of Law because it allowed me to work full-time while pursuing my degree— an experience that shaped not just my schedule, but my entire approach to the law. I learned how to balance pressure, prioritize people, and stay focused on real-world impact.

While in school, I co-founded the NSL Legal Aid Society and helped connect our students with pro bono opportunities across the city. By partnering with local legal clinics and organizations, we made it easier for law students to volunteer and give back. I personally contributed over 800 hours of pro bono service during law school, earning recognition from the Tennessee Supreme Court and commendations from the school for my efforts.

I also gained hands-on legal experience at the District Attorney’s Office, served as a research assistant to a former Alabama Supreme Court justice, worked in TennCare’s Appellate Division, and clerked for a Davidson County Criminal Court judge. In my final two years of law school, I returned to banking and worked my way up to assistant managing a branch, while attending law school. Balancing a demanding job and a demanding education taught me what I now bring to every case: preparation, purpose, and a deep commitment to the people I serve.

2024 University of Alabama School of Law, LL.M.

I took the Tennessee bar exam in October 2020 and began clerking for an experienced civil litigator just a week later. When I was licensed in January 2021, she brought me on as an attorney and gave me the kind of mentorship most new lawyers only hope for.

I was entrusted with real responsibility from the start: managing my own caseload, drafting dispositive motions, and appearing in court. More importantly, I was taught how to be a thoughtful, strategic advocate, not just a technician. That experience shaped the foundation of my practice today.

While working full-time, I also earned my LL.M. from the University of Alabama School of Law, graduating cum laude in 2024. That additional training strengthened my ability to handle complex legal and financial issues, particularly in family and business disputes.

I’m licensed to practice in the State of Tennessee; the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern, Middle, and Western Districts of Tennessee; and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Whether it’s a high-conflict divorce, a business dispute, or a personal injury claim, I approach every case with the same mindset of focus and clarity, paired with the kind of advocacy that gets results when it matters most.

Leadership has always been part of who I am—from managing teams in banking and hospitality to organizing legal programs that serve the community. As an attorney, I’ve carried that same energy into every corner of my work.

I currently serve on the board of the Nashville Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Division, where I co-chair the committee that organizes the annual Davidson County High School Mock Trial Competition. I also regularly volunteer for the NBA’s Dial-A-Lawyer program, offering guidance to callers who need legal help but may not have access to an attorney.

Beyond bar work, I aim to give back to the community as much as possible. In 2023, I helped a refugee from Afghanistan obtain asylum, and I continue to take on pro bono cases—most recently through a nonprofit that supports survivors of human trafficking.

I’m a proud graduate of the Nashville Bar Foundation Leadership Forum Class of 2025, a nine-month program designed to support the next generation of legal changemakers. The experience strengthened my commitment to leadership in both the legal profession and the broader community, and I plan to keep paying it forward for years to come.
