Words cannot express my GRATITUDE to those who had faith in a young woman and gave her the opportunity of a lifetime. These special people and fond memories will forever be the portrait of the foundation of Alliance Legal Staffing.

We must find time to stop and thank the people who make a difference in our lives.

This page is dedicated to all who have been part of my professional life and the growth of Alliance Legal Staffing. To all of my clients, candidates, and colleagues: there truly are no words to convey my gratitude for taking this journey with me. To all who have helped me along the way: you have inspired me to give back to others the way you have so graciously given to me. In this vein, I strive to use my passion for small business by supporting small businesses within my vendor selections, marketing and promotional efforts. I also have a passion for young people looking to find purpose and ways to reach their professional goals through tapping into to their individual gifts and talents.
Introducing my mentoring program,
Plant a Seed Contribution
Plant three rows of peas: Peas of mind, Peas of heart, Peas of soul.
Plant four rows of squash: Squash gossip, Squash indifference, Squash grumbling, Squash selfishness.
Plant four rows of lettuce: Lettuce be faithful, Lettuce be kind, Lettuce be happy, Lettuce really love one another. No garden should be without turnips: Turnip for service, Turnip to help one another, Turnip the music and dance.
Water freely with patience and cultivate with love. There is much fruit in your garden because you reap what you sow.
To conclude our garden we must have Thyme: Thyme for fun, Thyme for rest, Thyme for ourselves.
In 1987, Eleanor was one of the few female entrepreneurs I had ever met. She was unique, full of wisdom, and I enjoyed talking with her. We spent hours brainstorming about my interests, strengths and weaknesses. She encouraged me, believed in me and boosted my confidence. And, she was completely correct about the type of career I would thrive in. I think about her often and I truly believe that her coaching was the best money my parents ever spent on me. I wish she could see where I am today.
Eleanor was a career counselor and author, which I am not, but I do have a passion for helping young people. For years I have wondered what I can do to help the next generation on their own career paths, and I believe that some could benefit from the wisdom I have gained along the way through both successes and failures. As my way of giving back, I’m offering to visit (at no charge) with young people ages 10-22 to brainstorm and pique their interest about business and their future careers. It would be my honor to help them cultivate dreams of their own and provide support and encouragement of how they too can find a fulfilling purpose.
