She also delivers tailored trainings, seminars, and legal updates to workplaces regardless of size.

Raven joined Woods Rogers in 2022 after completing the firm’s summer associate program in 2021. She earned her J.D. from Washington and Lee University School of Law, where she was a recipient of the A. H. McLeod-Ross Malone Oral Advocacy Award. This prestigious accolade is bestowed upon a single graduating student who has shown exceptional skill in oral advocacy throughout their law school journey.

Raven's commitment to advocacy was demonstrated in and outside of the classroom through various competitions and clinic work. She served as a student caseworker in the Advanced Administrative Litigation Clinic. Formerly known as the Black Lung Clinic, this service advocates for disabled miners affected by pneumoconiosis in their litigation to receive Federal Black Lung benefits for themselves and their survivors.
