About

I am an 58 year old female that has a background in nursing, law enforcement, armed security, private investigator, and the Department of Corrections. I have always loved the law and all of the aspects that it entails. I have became disabled and made up my mind that even though I may be disabled the fact remains that my mind is not. I decided to go back to college and obtain a J.D. in the field that I love.
