I started my career as a legal assistant in a law firm that practiced in the areas of estate planning, elder law and probate. I continued with that firm through law school and for a few years following graduation. The experience I obtained through my employment at that law firm is extremely valuable since it gave me a different perspective of these practice areas.  I have had hands-on experience in these practice areas for 20+ years and have had the honor of working with families both through the eyes of a legal assistant and as an attorney.  I refer to my legal assistant experience as "behind the scenes" experience.  I have felt the pain with my clients, shared the joys with my clients, and helped them to achieve their goals.  I feel the utmost satisfaction and joy working with my clients.  Currently, I am pursuing my Master of Law in taxation at Boston University School of Law to further my tax knowledge.
