My name is Tierra Ward, and I currently work as an Administrative Assistant and Paralegal for Monah Law. I am currently attending Cuyahoga Community College, where I am studying Political Science.
I specialize in tax preparation, notary services, and business credit building.
On weekends, I run The Patricia Ward Foundation, where I travel with teenage girls, giving back to children in the community by providing free hair services, educational support, and other essential resources.
I love church, playing the piano, and traveling around the world with my family.
