What led to or inspired your current career?

 

The position that I had at St. Mary’s Hospital had been done away with so I didn’t have a job. I had always been interested in law, and when I was much younger thought I wanted to be a lawyer. Being a paralegal seemed like a good choice and I’m happy I did it! Most recently I started being the coordinator for a legal clinic here. I do all of the emailing, coordinating volunteers, refreshments, and attorneys, and getting everything set up and running for the clinic on the Saturdays that we do them. It is the Athens Access to Justice Initiative and we do legal clinics, providing free legal advice for members of the community one Saturday per month. We have attorneys from all different areas of law, family law, immigration, civil, torts, criminal, etc. If you have a legal question you can go there and get an answer and help to get you on the road to actually figuring out your problem.
