I am a legal techno-geek and have been helping attroneys and legal professionals with document production and software issues for 20 years. I love the legal services field and have a dream to see all law schools train law school students on the basics of electronic evidence, correct use of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook in order to bridge the gap between technology and law.
I also love animals especialy dogs and have been involved in flyball tournments with my dog Skittles. I also love being a mom and have a daughter in college.
