Originally drawn to the law by a desire to help people directly, Gabrielle brings a grounded, client-focused approach to every case. After beginning her career in corporate practice, she recognized that meaningful advocacy meant standing beside individuals facing real and immediate legal challenges. Her work today centers on providing realistic guidance, steady support, and strategic representation for clients whose freedom and future are at stake.

Gabrielle graduated from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill School of Law in 2022 and began her legal career in corporate practice at a large international bank. She quickly realized that the work was not the right fit and spent significant time seeking a path back to litigation, driven by the same motivation that led her to law school in the first place: helping people. That desire ultimately brought her to client-facing advocacy, where preparation, communication, and accountability directly impact outcomes.

Grounded in strong North Carolina roots, Gabrielle is motivated by the responsibility of helping clients regain a sense of control during some of the most challenging moments of their lives. She believes clients deserve clear answers, honest assessments, and advocacy tailored to their specific circumstances. Her goal is always to pursue the most favorable outcome possible while ensuring clients feel supported throughout the legal process.

Outside of her practice, Gabrielle enjoys spending time with her fiancé and exploring new restaurants as enthusiastic food lovers who are always open to trying something new. She also values time outdoors and unwinds by playing video games whenever her schedule allows.
