Blake Hensley is a Legal Assistant at SGGH where she serves as direct support to the Founding Partners and Administrative Staff handling legal projects, managing administrative data, and communicating with SGGH clients.

From a young age, Blake was inspired to educate and help others by her mother, aunts, and grandmothers—all of whom served as schoolteachers and volunteers at their local churches. She’s carried those lessons and that passion through to her work at SGGH, where she prides herself on demonstrating compassion and empathy in all her work and communications.

Blake graduated summa cum laude from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, where she majored in History and obtained a minor in Secondary Education. She was an educator in Wisconsin for the past seven years before joining the SGGH team first part-time, then full-time.

In her free time, Blake is an avid fiction writer, swimmer, and long-distance runner. During the week she loves attending trivia nights and hosting book clubs. On weekends, she enjoys immersing herself in nature and spending time with friends and family.
