CAREER ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Assumed the various responsibilities of the previous bankruptcy deputy with no training. The previous deputy left abruptly and it was necessary to self-train in the position. It was a challenge that I took seriously and thoroughly enjoyed the process. I had just completed my Paralegal certification at Tulsa Community College while working full time as an office manager at Media Concepts and being a wife and mother to four children. I fully enjoy my current position and would like to contribute my skills, education and knowledge in all aspects to ensure the success of Tulsa County Government.
