A North Carolina Native with Deep Local Roots
Raised in the coastal town of Kitty Hawk on North Carolina’s Outer Banks, Arianna developed an early appreciation for strong community ties and the importance of family. She graduated magna cum laude from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington with a degree in Political Science, where she also cultivated her passion for advocacy while gaining hands-on legal experience at a local law firm.
Academic Excellence and Legal Training
Arianna earned her Juris Doctor from the University of North Carolina School of Law, where she served as Notes Editor for the North Carolina Journal of Law and Technology (JOLT). During law school, she was actively involved in Women in Law and gained valuable appellate experience as a summer law clerk with the North Carolina Court of Appeals.
Prior to joining McIlveen Family Law Firm, Arianna practiced in Rocky Mount, NC, where she worked on both family law and civil litigation cases. This dual focus sharpened her legal reasoning and courtroom advocacy skills, allowing her to approach family law matters with depth, balance, and a well-rounded perspective.
