Adriana Harris

I've been working as a corporate paralegal since 2010, and it's always been my passion - I actually wanted to go to law school, but life got in the way. I feel very successful and fulfilled when I work in the legal area alongside the attorneys. In my current position with a wireless infrastructure company, I have a lot of autonomy in many different areas of my day-to-day work. My attorney handles the HR human resources part of the company, and I have a human resources compliance background, plus the real estate part and legal operations, so everything came together perfectly. I truly enjoy the legal field. A couple months ago, I started a new venture as a travel advisor with Fora Travel. This was triggered because I went to Italy and Spain with my sister in March this year, and I planned the whole thing - I found it so exciting and fun. With Fora, you can actually be a travel advisor and do exactly what I did for other people, connecting families, friends, and new clients to a variety of perks through hotel partnerships. I did the certification and now I'm starting with a couple of trips here and there to get the thing going and practice, but I really want to grow that part. I also own Clean Haven Services, a commercial cleaning company I started 2 years ago. I had a relative that was working in that area and was treated very, very badly by their employer. I said, you know what, this is something - I'm bilingual, I speak Spanish - I could actually provide a job to my relative and more people and create a very better environment for them. Obviously, I wanted to increase my salary by a little bit more because I have two children and I'm a single mom, so it's really challenging. I got my first contract in Boca, and the person is really happy. It's pretty small, but I have faith that it's gonna grow. I'm relaunching the website with a new SEO company and working with Google. I accommodate my schedule between my paralegal job and doing side visits or estimates for the cleaning business. The travel work I can do at 1 o'clock in the morning if I want to. I work with many different websites like Yelp to get leads, and I'm quite busy always trying to answer quickly and stay focused.
