Anne was recently recognized in Celebrating 50 South Carolina Women 2026 for her leadership and service addressing critical legal and community needs across the state. She is a graduate of Wake Forest University School of Law in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and earned her undergraduate degree from Western Carolina University.

Prior to joining Lowcountry Legal Volunteers, Anne practiced law as a litigator and certified mediator in Raleigh, North Carolina, and later worked in private practice after relocating to the Lowcountry with her family. Her passion for serving individuals who may not otherwise have access to critical legal services stems from her upbringing in the economically challenged mountain region of Western North Carolina, where access to quality legal representation and other essential services is often considered a luxury for much of the population.

Anne was admitted to the North Carolina Bar in 2001 and the South Carolina Bar in 2013. She joined Lowcountry Legal Volunteers as Executive Attorney in 2015 and became Executive Director in 2021.

Her active community involvement includes prior service on the Board of the Boys & Girls Club of Bluffton and participation in Women in Philanthropy. She currently serves on the South Carolina Access to Justice Commission. Anne and her husband, Scott, live in Bluffton, South Carolina.
