I'm enhancing my life. A prayer I began reciting 6 years ago and the road since has been that and more! I am sharp, tenacious and meticulous. I enjoy being grateful, bubbly, and pleasant. I have a unique 'Finesse in Customer Service,' a title I received from a Supervisor, in 2007 and a trailer of ambition that continues to grow...out of nowhere! My heart just curls up and my eyes get all-teared-up.

I began my job career before graduating from High School, with an unpaid internship at First Interstate Bank. I had no idea that the next job I would get, could help me hone my customer service skills. It was at a McDonalds and I enjoy recalling my training and the pride that I took in my job duties. The way we were taught to service the customer, care for the equipment and restaurant, pin-pointed the path that has forged how I would become a Customer Service Queen to all of my friends and family. Awesome! Three to Four years later, I attained my first legal interaction that would began to knead at my knack for wisdom in the law (Pssst! I had no clue at this time). I took a small used car dealer to court, (because I put a car on hold for one day and they said it would be kept as such, then I came back the next day and the car was sold!) and they asked for mediation. I won! I am now assisting a Successful attorney as a Paralegal and as an Assistant. A true profession for me, I've been told numerous times, and I see myself in the light sailing! I'm blessed to be working here, plus I'm helping people in my community with Recovering from Identity theft. Yes! I have recovered, On My Own! Also, I'm helping individuals, known as: Non-lawyers, to prepare their documents for court by typing their information onto the forms at their direction and under their direct supervision; as I am not an Attorney and cannot give out legal advice. Whoo-Hue! ;) Oh, and I smile and laugh alot too!

Recently, I joined the 'Say No'-UNITE to end violence against girls and women, a global call to action. I'm becoming a Social Activist and it feels GREAT!
