About

Experienced attorney skilled in Civil Litigation, Mediation, Legal Research and Writing, currently working for a document review firm while I homeschool my daughter. I previously worked in the area of residential real estate foreclosures, but I'm a quick learner who is willing to branch out beyond that arena. My BA and MS are in the biological sciences and I am experienced in a laboratory setting. Further, I have quite a bit of experience teaching classes at the college level.
