I am a relentless in your face, tell you like it is person who will not back down. I use this to my advantage in the legal field by working to prove my client’s case with any laws or case laws necessary. I bring a Marine's attitude to the table and I do not believe in losing. I apply this attitude to all my work in order to benefit whomever I am working for. Other than that, I am easy going and a fun loving person with a weird humor. As soon as I complete law school, I plan to bring this same attitude to the legal system. My ultimate goal is to obtain my license to practice law in the state of N.Y. My short-term plan is to use my A.A.S. in Paralegal Studies along with my continuing education in the legal field, coupled with my real life experience to perform temporary, contract, and or part time, or full time legal and case research as well as document preparation and other paralegal tasks as needed. It is my opinion that my education as well as my real life experiences would make me a perfect fit to your needs.
Volunteer and community service
Founding member of West-side Residents Coalition. I worked with Deputy Police Chief Barrett of the Syracuse Police Department through West-side Residents Coalition and West side on the move to improve Syracuse Police Department and West side residents relations on the near west side as well as helped to develop plans to help eradicate crime on the near west side. I also presented Syracuse city Councilman Howie Hawkins with an affordable housing plan for low-income people to become homeowners. As of March 2013, I had decided to run for Mayor of Syracuse. I think it is time for a REAL change in Syracuse. I will be bringing my attitude and experience coupled with the application of logic to the mayor’s office in order to solve the problems in the city of Syracuse.
