Personal Statement and Objective
I have been a self-employed attorney for twelve years prevailing over many publicly recognized cases. I have successfully
marketed myself and my talent as a gifted lawyer and I am a very effective and proficient public speaker. In addition to having
excellent analytical skills, I am also an intriguing and prolific writer. I have a background in psychology and social work. I have
owned and operated a child care center and have been employed in various management and sales positions. I am an honorably
discharged veteran of the United States Air Force. I am a thriving breast cancer survivor with a healthy, optimistic attitude.
Although my legal career has been gratifying, interesting, challenging and enlightening, the practice of law by nature often
involves the most profound instances of problematic people and situations. From the criminal realm to the protection of children
in dangerous environments, the legal system exposes its members to negativity in many ways. I have bravely helped those in need
as a lawyer with no regrets; however, at this point in my life, I am ready to enthusiastically explore new business and career
opportunities. Ultimately, I hope to devote myself and my wisdom to a career that I respect and a business that I hope to improve
as a team member.
