Summary

I am a 31 year old mother of my prides and joy, Taidim and Tucker. I spent my 20's focused on being a mother and now that my children are growing up, I decided to do something for myself. I chose to enroll into college in 2023 to obtain an education and start a Legal Assistant Career. Previously, my passion was the restoration and reconditioning of automotive vehicles, which I still love. I have a passion for law and have since I took a law course in High School. Learning about all areas of law and learning how to be a legal assistant felt like a natural process and I enjoyed all of the learnings and drafting.
