About
I am a full tim mother of two, and a full time paralegal. My husband and family are very supportive of my pursuit of my B.A. Interdisciplinary Studies with minor in English. I've worked very hard to achieve my goals.
My family and church family are vital to my life. I am the part time guardian of my sixteen year old brother. My parent's are not in the best of health. I am also the full time voluntary youth leader at my church. I love to help others, and I help as often as I can.
I have been a family law paralegal for twelve years, and I would like to be Board Certified with the State of Georgia. To do this, I have to have my Bachelor's Degree. These are my short term goals, and I am excited to be getting closer to them.
