Anita Barone

I am Italian and Greek. I am of Christian background and I love to study both Christianity and Judaism. I am familiar with the Middle East because my family (Italians/Greeks) lived in Egypt during a time of prosperity in the metropolitan area of Cairo. I attended Italian elementary schools and later American high schools. This education opportunity gave me a great background and respect for historical figures, art works and varied political views in both continents. I lived in Florida, upstate New York, New York City, Minnesota and Los Angeles. My several moves were mostly due to an unprovoked unexplained one sided custody fight. I got to experience open cultural unfairness in the County Court in which I resided. My location changes were due to my moving to where my children were being moved. I was fortunate to be hired as an adjunct instructor at Rusmussen Business College in Minnesota. I taught Success Strategies, Business Ethics and Office Procedures. Besides being familiar with the Italian culture, I know the Greek culture. My older daughter has lived and attended college in Greece. I became thoroughly familiar with financial issues that come up when making personal transactions between the US and Europe. I have a California real estate broker license. I have experience in finding retail space for business owners. I renewed my license with my focus on Foreclosures, Short Sales and REITs. I have a Paralegal Certificate from UCLA Extension and I am currently enjoying a great volunteering opportunity at the Los Angeles Superior Court. I am planning on applying to law school in the next two years or so.
