About Helena
Biography
I started my career as a guest services manager at a Holiday Inn. I became very interested in management and human resources, but was also drawn to law. I then earned a masters in labor relations and human resources as well as a law degree. Upon completing my education I served as an Assistant State Attorney in Charlotte County where I gained valuable trial experience, then opened my own law firm to practice employment law.
