Gloria Lynn Smith

I grew up as a military brat, living in many different places across the United States. I finally settled in Ohio. I have always had a passion for helping people that are in trouble. I even returned to school to earn a ministry degree. I became a lawyer to help people and that is what motivates me to do the work that I do.
