Ellington, Judge.
A Gwinnett County jury found Brittany Morgan Hester guilty of aggravated assault, OCGA § 16-5-21 (a) (2); carrying a concealed weapon, OCGA § 16-11-126; and four counts of armed robbery, OCGA § 16-8-41. Hester appeals from the denial of her motion for new trial. She contends that the State’s evidence was insufficient to support two of her convictions, that her trial counsel was ineffective, and that the trial court erred in admitting certain evidence and in refusing to give a requested jury charge. Finding no error, we affirm.
