I am a PARALEGAL

September 28, 2011

“I could have been a Doctor, a Reporter or a Scientist. Instead, I am gifted with crisis management skills. I am a problem-solver, an innovator, a sympathetic ear, the reassuring presence, and a professional. I am a PARALEGAL!”

Thank you to Allen Mihecoby, fellow Paralegal and 2011 ParalegalGateway Paralegal Superstar

How (not) to add friends on Facebook
