What achievements are you most proud of professionally? I am most proud of the time I spent representing youth in the juvenile dependency system. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing a family successfully reunited or watching a child overcome hardship to be successful in his or her life.

What advice would you give to a new attorney? Ask for help. We are very fortunate to have a friendly Bar Association in York County and I have found that, as a whole, the more experienced attorneys are more than gracious in assisting new attorneys.

Favorite local restaurant or bar? Pho Bistro

What would someone be surprised to know about you? I graduated from Penn State with a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and a minor in Equine Science. I had planned to go to vet school!

What do you like most about the work that you do? I joined Bellomo & Associates a year ago. I love educating members of the community and helping families to protect themselves and their families through their estate planning.
