Background

Skylar has always strived to help her community and promote the public’s interest. After college, she worked in municipal and district courts as a court referral officer. Following this introduction to court diversionary programs and community outreach, Skylar became a Juvenile Probation Officer.

She assisted in grant research, community stakeholder coordination, and resource allocation for various diversion programs, including the Youth Advocate Program. Most importantly, Skylar helped oversee at-risk youth compliance with the court system and coordinated valuable positive reinforcing opportunities for at-risk youth. Skylar continues to see the benefits of her past work when she receives updates from kids who were once deemed delinquent and now are on promising career paths and fulfilling their dreams.

While attending law school, Skylar continued to serve the public while gaining experience in the legal field. She was a student aide in the Civil Administrative Division of the Alabama Attorney General’s Office and later interned with the Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission. Skylar served as the student representative for the Montgomery Bar Association’s Volunteer Lawyers program and helped coordinate charity events and public benefit efforts as President of her law school’s Public Interest Law Foundation as a 3L.

Before joining Beasley Allen, Skylar obtained valuable experience in diverse areas of law. She prosecuted cases as an Assistant District Attorney in the Baldwin County District Attorney’s Office for the 28th Judicial Circuit. She also worked for another plaintiffs’ law firm in Daphne, Alabama.

In her free time, she enjoys kayaking, ballroom dancing, and spending time with her Brittany spaniel, Zoey.
