Description
I worked as an administrative assistant for years before I got a job with a legal aid office where I learned about being a paralegal. I went back to school, got my degree and went to graduate school. I taught English to college students and also got a job as an administrator for a shelter for battered women. I moved to New Orleans and started on my path as a public relations professional. I worked for Harrah's Casino, the Housing Authority of New Orleans where I learned more about community and government relations. I am an excellent writer and it helped me all through my career. I focussed on taking jobs that help people and I want to keep doing that. I love working in public relations.
