Personal Statement
Experienced litigator. I’m a communicator. I’ve trained to be a public speaker since junior high, becoming a state champion on the speech and debate teams in high school and college. I continued to polish my skills in Toastmasters. I’ve published professionally, served as an editor for a professional journal, and served on thesis committees. I’ve taught for more than 25 years. One of the classes I teach is Microsoft Office. I learned leadership skills in the Army. I was a criminal defense “wizard.” Because I adapt quickly, I can do whatever you need me to do.
