An educaCon

a private law school located in downtown Columbus.

to just name a few.
She developed relaConships with the nine Ohio law schools and

It always comes back to family for Rebecca Skeeles.

It is a tricky balancing act; being a leader in role and name at a growing company, developing a new career as a public speaker, and raising a
