I was born and raised in Nashville, TN, which is somewhat of a rarity these days! I attended Harpeth Hall, an all-girls school for 8 years and graduated in 2016.

I cherished my experience there dearly and still love cheering on the Frogs from afar to this day. I knew I wanted to become a lawyer from a young age, as my mom was an attorney.

The key to most of these alternatives to bankruptcy is using "fee...
