As A Graduate
As a graduate from a North Carolina Historically Black University, Shanelle has worked effortlessly to promote and educate those in her community about the importance of joining the legal profession. She assisted in planning the HBCU pre-law summit held at her alma mater, North Carolina A&T State University, and sat on various panels for the pre-professional scholar’s program and the HBCU pre-law summit advocating for more students of HBCU’s to get into the legal profession.

During her time in law school, Shanelle traveled with the North Carolina Bar Association to Port Au Prince Haiti to work with the Port Au Prince, Guadeloupe, and Paris Bar Associations in business and financial development within Haiti. While she always envisioned working with the business owner, this opportunity expanded her love of businesses and the impact they have on a society. Shanelle believes in taking the time to learn and understand her clients and their businesses to provide detailed legal advice that enables them to be confident in the decisions they make.
When not practicing law, Shanelle enjoys traveling the world, white water rafting, baking, a nice cup of coffee, and entertaining her followers on TikTok. Shanelle was raised by a Navy Veteran and a household full of Pittsburgh Steeler fans. So, Baltimore Ravens fans beware! She considers herself your friendly lawyer next door who is here to help you accomplish your legal goals.
