ABOUT MICAH

Micah earned her Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice and Sociology from the University of Arkansas in 2009. She began her advocacy career during her undergraduate studies as a substitute advocate for the Northwest Arkansas Women’s Shelter (formerly the Benton County Women’s Shelter), eventually stepping into the role of full-time Court Advocate upon graduation. In this role, she supported survivors of violent crimes, attending roughly 20 domestic court hearings per week across a four-county region while fostering collaborative relationships with judges, law enforcement, prosecutors, and legal aid attorneys. Driven to expand her impact, she later joined Walmart Home Office as a lead paralegal managing high-risk personal injury, trucking, and discovery matters—a experience that reinforced her decision to pursue a law degree.

While earning her Juris Doctor at the University of Arkansas School of Law, Micah served as Chair of the Board of Advocates and competed on the Mock Trial Travel Team with her team competing in the National Quarterfinals in Seattle, Washington. Micah also built a diverse legal foundation during law school through various high-impact externships, serving as a judicial extern for the Honorable John R. Scott in the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit West and holding key roles within Walmart’s Global Compliance, Global Ethics, and International Legal divisions. Her work spanned global anti-corruption data analysis, FCPA compliance, international contract review, and cross-border mergers and acquisitions.

Following law school, Micah joined Walmart’s Global Labor Relations division, developing training and communication strategies to support the company’s union-free status under the NLRA and managing the Labor Relations Hotline to advise field leadership, mitigate risk, and ensure compliance. Her responsibilities expanded across operations and international borders: she delivered comprehensive labor relations training to Auto Care Center management nationwide, supported U.S. Auto Care Center operations with a focus on risk management and policy adherence, and led labor and associate relations efforts across India and Canada to align global practices with U.S. standards. Additionally, she analyzed program trends to drive international consistency and foster key stakeholder engagement.

Driven by a passion for direct client advocacy, Micah returned to public interest law in 2016. She served for nearly a decade as a contract Attorney ad Litem through the Arkansas Administrative Office of the Courts, representing children in Dependency/Neglect cases across Washington County. Today, she continues her juvenile advocacy work as the appointed attorney for juveniles in Family in Need of Services (FINS) cases, alongside her work as a certified Attorney ad Litem in family law and probate matters.

Deeply committed to her community, Micah actively supports local nonprofits dedicated to family restoration and victim advocacy. She proudly serves on the Board of Directors for the Children and Family Advocacy Center (CFAC) in Little Flock, Arkansas, which provides both acute support for children facing suspected abuse and restorative, long-term housing for women and children in crisis. Dedicated, compassionate, and highly experienced, Micah remains steadfast in her mission to advocate for individuals and families when they need it most.
