Happy Nurses’ Week!
​

The Law Offices of Samantha K. Wolfe is proud to introduce the newest member of the team: Jessica Blair. We know you will love Jessica as much as we do. Jessica’s arrival is quite timely. May 6-12 is Nurses’ Week and Jessica is a nurse by education. We invited Jessica to share her thoughts about why she became a nurse:

“All my life I have wanted to care for individuals, whether it be a newborn baby or the elderly. Around the time I graduated high school, I would get asked the obvious question, “What do you want to do when you grow up”? and I would proudly answer: I want to be a nurse. Anytime I was playing with my friends or sisters, I would be there with my medical kit ready to aide when a crisis arose (not that any ever did). My love for the medical field never wavered, so when I graduated high school, the next step was to attend college and get my Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I loved my time at college. I learned so much, met so many amazing patients, and got to do what I truly loved. After graduating and obtaining my B.S.N degree I was blessed with two girls and chose to be a stay-at-home mom. It was an amazing six years of caring for them and being able to invest in their upbringing. I felt that it was not the time to return yet to the nursing field due to our schedule and still missing out on my girls being so young, so I got a job at the Fairfield School District. I loved my time there and I am so thankful to have taken that journey; however, my path was headed to a different place. Recently I joined The Law Offices of Samantha K. Wolfe, and I am so excited and honored to be working here. I am looking forward to this new journey and where it will take me!”
