Theresa graduated from Central Carolina Community College in 2000 with an Associate’s Degree in Paralegal Studies.
Theresa’s nearly 20 years of experience with estate administration and estate planning is a great asset in assisting families and loved ones through the probate process with care and competence. Her tax experience offers a fresh and new perspective on our client’s tax needs. She is an invaluable team member and trusted professional to our clients.
Theresa lives in Hoke County with her husband of 28 years on a small farm. Her daughters are now young successful women. For fun (and sanity), Theresa cares for her horses and competes in equine endurance events and is active in her local church and community.
