Introducing Jennifer Tirado
A Kindhearted and Supporting Individual
Jennifer Tirado is a paralegal here at Bruce Law and has been with us for the past three years. In those years, Jennifer has proven to be a dependable and passionate individual when it comes to helping our clients and working with her fellow team members. Her pride in her work stems from her keenness to help ensure that the people around her are taken care of. Yet, these three years haven’t been the only time she’s worked with Chris Bruce.
5 Ways to Improve Your Home’s Air Quality
And Protect the Health of Your Family
“I worked with Chris prior, when he was a partner at another law firm, and before he left to open his private practice,” Jennifer says. “And it’s always been a pleasure working with him. The two of us connect really well, and he’s an excellent employer. Chris has always been very understanding. I’m glad I can work with him again.” As Jennifer thrives in the law field, some might be surprised that it wasn’t her first choice when she entered college. At the beginning, her initial intent was to follow the medical field, but that quickly changed because of Rosalie Cruz, who is one of our attorneys here at Bruce Law. “At the time, she was working at another law office,” Jennifer explains. “Rosalie was planning on leaving town for a bit and wanted me to fill in for her. I was hesitant at first, but I decided to do it, and from there my interest in law quickly grew.” “I do really enjoy my job,” Jennifer continues. “I feel that we’re able to help people from being in situations where they’re lost. We can offer them guidance, help, and support through this stressful process. I feel that, a lot of the times, it’s hard to find a good attorney, and it gives me a good feeling every time I talk to a client and know that we’re doing whatever we can to help them. We’re a good law firm that looks out for the best interest of our clients. While it might be different from what I wanted to do in the beginning of the 2000s, I’m still helping people, only in a different manner.”
Many people have been spending more time at home in the past several months, and it’s felt more important than ever to have good indoor air quality. Air pollution isn’t limited to smog visibly affecting the air around us. More often than not, indoor air can be just as polluted, or even more polluted, than outdoor air. Microscopic dust mites, chemicals, and allergens can aggravate your family members’ allergies or asthma. Here’s are some easy ways to improve your home’s air quality and better protect your family today. First, vacuum and mop regularly. We recommend vacuuming twice a week or more. Letting dust accumulate will increase how much dust you breathe in. A vacuum that has both strong suction and a HEPA filter can ensure that dust and dirt won’t be blown back out. Floor mats outside your front and back doors can also really help keep contaminants out! Second, keep the humidity moderate. Too much humidity attracts dust mites and mold. Keeping the humidity in your home around 30%–50% can help keep dust mites and mold under control. Third, test your home for radon. No matter how new your home may be, it’s important to test for this colorless, odorless, and radioactive gas. Radon is one of the top indoor air pollutants, and it’s the second leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking. It occurs from the natural decay of uranium found in nearly all soils and tends to move up through the ground and into the cracks of a home’s foundation. Fourth, pick laundry products and air fresheners that don’t list ‘fragrance’ as an ingredient. The composition of synthetic “fragrances” is considered a trade secret, but most scents are derived from petroleum products. There hasn’t been enough testing done to know how inhaling synthetic fragrances affects us because most current testing focuses on skin irritation. Still, scented products may induce allergy symptoms, so if you have a sensitive family member, stick to unscented products. Fifth, replace your home’s air filters regularly. Talk to an expert about how frequently you should be replacing your filters. This can depend on several factors, such as the number of pets in the household, the size and location of your home, what allergies you may be prone to, and seasonal changes.
