Thurman, Wilson, Boutwell & Galvin P.A.
My path to the legal profession began on the manufacturing shop floor. Before attending law school, I spent nearly a decade in the building materials manufacturing sector, where I managed teams and enhanced operations at various plants throughout the southeast. I discovered a passion for building relationships and collaborating with others to address both significant and minor challenges. Motivated by this, I chose to transition these skills into a legal career, aiming to help others navigate their most daunting challenges.
During my time in law school, I developed a keen interest in legal writing. I received multiple accolades for my prowess in drafting legal briefs, both as a student scholar and as a member of the Moot Court Competition. Additionally, my writings on topics such as judicial ethics and contract law have been featured in law reviews and other platforms.
Currently, as a Litigation Associate at Thurman, Wilson, Boutwell, and Galvin, P.A., I merge the skills from my manufacturing background with the legal acumen developed through my education and practice. This unique combination allows me to simplify complex legal issues and collaborate with clients to identify the most effective solutions for them. Although my experience provides me with unique insights particularly useful to business and construction clients, I find enjoyment in practicing across various fields of civil law.
