After retiring from the advertising field and being a stay-at-home mom, Missy got her start in the legal arena later in life doing part-time work filing and handling conflicts at a local law firm. She then moved on to assist various administrators in whatever capacity necessary at a medical malpractice firm, learning and honing her skills along the way. When the opportunity to work with Dominique and start up a new firm presented itself, Missy jumped at the chance and never looked back. She now acts as the firm’s administrator and serves on the local board of the Association of Legal Administrators. Outside of work, Missy enjoys volunteering and spending time with her family, friends, and Bumble - the family dog. She loves trying and creating new recipes and visiting her daughter at the beach!
