Greetings! I am an attorney / Sociology instructor who has a passion and love for both subjects. I attained my M.S. in Applied Sociology in 2006 and began teaching at Collin College the same year. I just finished my 15th year with the school as a part-time adjunct professor and I look forward to year 16! I went to law school later than the traditional student, but I was in a job that brought me no joy or sense of accomplishment, and I wanted something more fulfilling than a paycheck, so I went to law school at age 37. I was fortunate to score well on the LSAT and get a partial scholarship to SMU Dedman School of Law. I received my J.D. two months after my 40th birthday and have been practicing for 8 years. It has been the best 8 years of my life! I currently have my own practice that focuses on CPS, mental health, and juvenile cases, but also am of counsel with a mid-size law firm as their Estate Planning and Probate attorney. I really enjoy staying busy and working with new attorneys and mentoring law school students. I think tutoring is a perfect extension of all the things I love about my job and life and I hope I can help students who are struggling with the materials so they can be successful in their academic and professional lives. I look forward to working with you!
