What is your role at Pathway Legal?

My role at Pathway Legal is to support Val Hemminger as her Executive Assistant, making sure her day runs smoothly while also helping out with our social media and marketing so the world can see the amazing work our firm does.

What should clients look for in a lawyer or law firm?

Clients should look for a lawyer or law firm that genuinely listens, communicates clearly, and explains things in a way that actually makes sense. They should also feel that their lawyer has both the skill to handle complex issues and the heart to truly care about their life and family.

What attracted you to Pathway Legal?

I was attracted to Pathway Legal because it is a place where growth is encouraged, and people genuinely want to see you thrive. The culture is supportive, collaborative, and full of people who lift each other.

What are your interests in addition to law?

Outside of law, I love going on trips with my family, exploring new places together and making memories. I am also into gaming and paddleboarding, which is the perfect mix of cozy indoor fun and being out on the water. 

What is your favourite kind of animal? 

My favourite kind of animals are cats and dogs, without question. I have two cats, Lulu and Luna, who are incredibly cuddly and sweet, and they pretty much run the house in the cutest possible way.
