I am a single mom of 2 children and decided after my divorce that I wanted better for them and for myself. While handling the divorce myself without an attorney, that is when I knew that going into the legal field was what I was meant to do. I have a passion for helping others, and want to be that someone to help someone else get out of a difficult situation. I had to do it all on my own. I also want my children to look up to me and see that I have followed my heart and love what I do. I also want them to see me as a good role model and encourage them to continue their education after high school. I love the online classes at Rio Salado. It gave me the opportunity to further my education that I would not have been able to do otherwise, especially being a single mom. Thanks Rio Salado for helping me achieve my dreams!
