I'm not your typical suit! I pride myself on not being able to fit into a box. One thing I can say for sure about myself is that I am motivated. Whatever challenges I meet, I face with a fierce desire to overcome them. I became an attorney for several reasons. Other than enjoying the advocating aspect of my job, I love the fact that with this job comes a multitude of resources available to me. I have so many tools and resources at my finger tips to help either myself or those that come to me in almost any way. If it is not an area that I personally practice, I have a large pool of attorneys that I work closely with and that support me and all of my clients. I pass referrals and connect people with each other with every chance that I get. for the betterment of my clients It makes me happy to help, even if that help serves no benefit to me. I LIKE being able to put people in touch with those that can help if I can't and I love being able to point people in the right direction. Our society is so full of crazy and archaic rules and issues. Being able to assist someone find the way is invaluable.. On a personal note, about me, I am zealous and determined. With the concern of possibly giving away too much information about myself, but with the hope of giving you a better understanding of my nature, I will admit that I was not a traditional student. I did not grow up in a house with a white picket fence, la-da-da. I was raised in a family who struggled endlessly to make ends-meat and my parents were the hardest workers I've known. Their example helped turn me into the hard working person I am today with goals and aspirations. Each time I meet a goal, I set another and continue to move forward. At the age of 16, I was an emancipated minor and lived without my parents. I was also a teen mother, who remained in her regular school, and graduated with my class on time, with grades near the top of my class. I immediately went on to college, then undergrad, then grad school. I did not stop. Nothing would stop me. I take this part of my personaility and use it in my lawyering. I DESIRE to help, I DESIRE to make a difference. I want to and will do all that I can for my clients. It is my deepest desire to find a way to beat every challenge I am faced with! I like me and I hope you will to! :)
