She also was an intern with the Federal Trade Commission’s Bureau of Consumer Protection.

He currently serves on the Board of Directors for the North Carolina Trucking Association. During law school, Ben completed externships at the North Carolina Court of Appeals and the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina.
