She received her certification as Radiologic Technologist (RT) from Henry Ford Hospital in 1972.  She received her certification as a Radiation Therapy Technologist (RTT) from Henry Ford Hospital 1973. 

 

She began her legal career in Products Liability for the American Motors Corporation, from 1985 - 1987. She was an Assistant Corporation Counsel for the City of Detroit in 1989. She was In-house Counsel for the Grand Trunk Western Railroad Company from 1989 -1994. She was a Partner and Litigation/Trial Attorney for two law firms in Oakland County from 1994-1998.

She was Assistant General Counsel for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM) and Blue Care Network (BCN) and the Accident Fund Company (AFC) from 1999- 2001.

 

She has maintained her private legal practice, so that she could handle cases for private citizens without a “conflict of interest.” She has performed “pro-bono” legal services for senior citizens, the economically disadvantaged and for others who would not otherwise be able to obtain legal representation.

 

She has evaluated, investigated, and litigated hundreds of  disputes, arbitrations, and mediations, pertaining to: Negligence, Personal Injury, Mass Tort Litigation (Breast Implants, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Hearing Loss, Asbestosis, Mesothelioma, and Environmental Toxic Tort Claims), Employee and Labor related including but not limited to: Age Discrimination Act (ADA), Age Discrimination claims involving, Employment Act (ADEA), Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Michigan Persons with Disability Civil Rights Act (MPDCR), Title VII Civil Rights Act, (Title VII), Elliott Larsen Civil Rights Act (ELCRA) at the Federal and State level and with Administrative Agencies and on behalf of individuals (Plaintiffs and Defendants).

 

She has been referred to by her colleagues and acquaintances as a “pull yourself up-by-the-bootstraps,” American success story”. She rose above many personal challenges and turned her life from personal challenge to success by believing that she could, by pursing her goals and ambitions, by working hard, being honest, persevering, and by not letting others control or determine her destiny.

 

She claimed her rightful place in this world, by striving to carve out a legacy worth remembering. One that will outlive her, and by not letting anyone or anything deter to her from seeking and achieving her “highest good.” She stood up for herself and others, when tough times would have knocked most people down and kept them down.

 

She invested her life in worthy causes that were bigger than her and she learned that Life’s true “Joy” is discovered in helping those who can’t help themselves. 

 

She has always been active in the community, in many ways both “public and private.”  She has taught “free” classes on Sexual Harassment, Civil Rights, Workplace & Domestic Violence, and Estate Planning.  She has been a guest speaker, numerous times for “Career Days” at several schools and churches, sharing her past life experiences, which she had “overcame” of what some would call “insurmountable odds.”

 

She has a passion for traveling and meeting new people. She enjoys boating, skiing, and she loves to dance. She loves life and intends to enjoy as much of it as she can until the Lord calls her home.

 

Because of her work with indigents, battered women and other community services, she was “nominated”  three (3 ) times ( most recently in June of 2000), and once (1) awarded the “Outstanding Young Women in America,”  “national” award, which “honors” the “remarkable” accomplishments of our nation’s women, whose achievements in their communities and professions were “positive contributions” toward a better America.

 

She is married to Robert G. Moore.

 

Lastly and importantly, she loves the Lord with all her heart mind and soul.
