During 29 years as a practicing trial attorney I honed my courtroom presentation skills and developed strong communication and persuasion technique. I handled high profile cases for celebrities as well as fighting for the little guy who seeking a fair hearing.. At night, I enthusiastically taught community college students and experienced the joy of watching eyes light up at learning a new concept or improving their understanding of something they had only heard about on television. Teaching was a way of giving bac,k, since I was the only family member to graduate college . I wanted to help as many people as I could achieve that educational goal Learning is a lifelong process and I enjoyed the interactions with students of different backgrounds that helped me see the world from new perspectives.
