About Carol
Biography
I dreamed of being a lawyer from a young age. I feel privileged to practice in a profession I love. I also feel privileged to use my law degree and skills acquired in the education arena too, as I am also a former Adjunct Professor at the Univerity of Cincinnati and currently the Program Coordinator for the Paralegal Program at Gateway Community and Technical College.
In my free time I enjoy spending time with my son, reading, hiking and otherwise being outdoors.
