Alize Armstead

Administrative Legal Assistant

Alize joined DRNC as an Administrative Legal Assistant in 2024. She received her bachelor’s degree from North Carolina Central University where she majored in Criminal Justice/Juvenile Justice. Prior to working at DRNC, Alize worked as an administrative clerk in the Eastern District of the United States Attorney’s Office, and as a program assistant at Durham Parks and Recreation where she trained new employees in organizational policies, including inclusivity, and led diverse community groups across a range of sports. She currently serves as a volunteer Guardian ad Litem in Durham County. Alize’s passion for helping others stems from witnessing the challenges faced by family members with disabilities navigating the legal system with limited support. She is a basketball enthusiast who bonded with my dad through the sport, a proud dog owner, and the oldest of five siblings.
