My passion as a nurse and today as an Elder Law Attorney continues to be, Helping individuals and their loved ones ensure they have all the necessary legal documents in place like Power of Attorneys, providing guidance in Generational wealth & asset protection planning, to assisting clients navigate the Medicaid application process, Medicaid spend downs, and other issues related to elder care and long term care planning.

As the pioneer of the Elder Care Navigation Program at Your Legacy Legal Care, where we take a holistic approach to finding solutions for individuals and their families experiencing challenges from diagnosis such as dementia and other chronic diseases, our goal is to provide Peace of Mind. Implementation of this practice area includes addressing the Legal, Financial and Medical needs of the client’s I serve.
Prior to becoming an attorney, I was in the nursing profession for over 23 years. I began my career as a licensed vocational nurse and later obtained my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) with honors from Texas Woman’s University. Over the span of my nursing career, I practiced in many areas such as CV-ICU, Med-surg, Administration, Home Care and healthcare technology.

As a Home Care Nurse, I was in the community visiting elderly clients in their homes and quickly realized the great need for a voice for the seniors I served. After several years in Administration and running my own consulting company, I made the decision to attend law school to gain the knowledge I needed to help seniors and their families navigate the system and advocate on their behalf. I attended South Texas College of Law Houston and obtained my law degree in May of 2021.

My professional and civic activities include membership in local and national organizations including: Texas Bar Association, Houston Bar Association, Houston Association of Women Attorneys, Houston Lawyers Association and the National Black Nurses Association (NBNA). I currently serves on the Investment Committee for the National Black Nurses Association Inc in addition to the Board of Directors for Destined to Live and the Make A Mark Foundation, the latter of which I founded in memoriam of my brother, Mark-Anthony P. Olusi, who passed away in 2008 due to complications following a heart transplant.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, volunteering, attending concerts, and spending time with my family.
