I have 15 years experience volunteering with the Lighthouse for the Blind. I am very proud of that experience. At the completion of my paralegal program, I hope to be an independent contractor in elder law, during which I would assist seniors in applying for disability and other government benefits.
I think of myself mostly as an advocate for seniors. The career I am pursuing provides me with the opportunity to fulfill a desire to assist and comfort seniors.
I'm most proud of my tenacity. I am a lifelong learner, and I try to instill the value of good education in others.
I've worked at jobs including being a medical and legal transcriptionist at the University of Illlinois, University of Chicago, and Cook County Press. I worked five years at each one of those places. I've also been a tutor for the Chicago Public Schools.
Something interesting about me is that along with seniors, I enjoy working with people with physical and mental disabilities.

I am studying to become a paralegal, but after beating bedbugs, I need new furniture so I can do schoolwork and group projects at home. More
