Currently reading … I plan to read the new John Grisham
book “Sycamore Row.”
How do you feel at 8 a.m. on Mondays? Excited about the
new week and its possibilities.
My mother always told me … to have confidence in myself.
If you could do one thing professionally … I would learn as
much as I could to be better able to assist the clients we have.
Why did you go into law? I care about people and want to be
able to help them with circumstances that they need assistance
with.
What advice do you have for someone considering paralegal
school? Don’t give up, you can do it.

moments being a paralegal because I truly enjoy being able to
help people through difficult situations that they may be going
through.
What would surprise people about your job? You wear many
hats as a paralegal. Some days you act as a counselor to clients
that are grieving. Some days you are there to listen and sympathize.
No day is ever the same and probate law is never boring.
When and where were you happiest ? When I became a
mother.
What would be your ideal job? Managing and mentoring other
paralegals.
What one thing do you wish people knew about your work?

mean.
Where would you like to be when you're 90? Somewhere warm.
