About

I grew up in Massachusetts. My first job at age 15 was in a restaurant and I was a manager by the time I was 16. As a teenager I worked many hours and saved money to go to college. I obtained my undergraduate degree from the University of Massachusetts where I attended school full-time, worked full-time, and graduated summa cum laude in 1991. After college I worked in residences for the developmentally disabled and in shelters for homeless families and teenagers prior to entering law school. I received my Juris Doctor from Northeastern University School of Law in Boston in 1994. During law school I clerked for the domestic violence unit of the prosecutor's office, a civil rights law firm, an employment discrimination law firm, and a legal services office. I was admitted to the Massachusetts bar in December 1994. I first worked as a legal consultant to a foster care organization seeking to facilitate more children being placed in permanent homes. I later worked in financial services and for biotech corporations until I entered private practice and began focusing on assisting the disabled and the elderly with their legal needs.I moved to South Carolina in 2012 and was admitted to practice law in South Carolina in May 2013. I opened the Wadsworth Law Firm in August 2013 in Conway, South Carolina and moved the firm to Myrtle Beach in October of 2014.I love South Carolina and feel as if I have finally come home. I belong to Surfside Presbyterian Church. I support shelters that take care of homeless cats by donating legal services and providing financial support.
