In FA, she assisted students with filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid Form and scholarship applications. Her mission was always to help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite her stellar work in student services, Orange was always curious about the legal field.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That passion sparked during her junior year of high school when she was part of a weekly court observer program that allowed her to visit courtrooms to learn about the legal system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1998, Orange returned to the classroom to pursue a degree in paralegal studies at MDC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two years later, she became the contracts administrator at Kendall Campus for the facilities management department, managing architectural and maintenance contracts, insurances, licenses and bonds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By 2007, Orange joined Legal Affairs as a paralegal. She worked on matters such as labor issues, real estate, contracts, public record requests and trademarking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But her reach went beyond the legal matters she was charged with. Orange formed life-long friendships with her co-workers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen I told her that my son had started picking up a football\u2026[on the next] occasion she got me a little University of Miami football because that&#8217;s where I went to law school and it became one of my sons favorite footballs, &#8221; said Chris Saunders, an assistant general counsel at the College.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outside of MDC, Orange is known for her prowess for the written word. In 2006, she published <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soul Whisperings: Poems for Victorious Living<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is available on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Soul-Whisperings-Poems-Victorious-Living-ebook\/dp\/B079K32VCR\/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.3txobOVqwe53A5oHoMUOTA.1eFrVjeDEg9p7RHhAukMiFkCnOEX-UqxyF7VxBxrYSk&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;qid=1744116458&amp;refinements=p_27%3ANanette+Orange&amp;s=books&amp;sr=1-1&amp;text=Nanette+Orange\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/soul-whisperings-nanette-c-orange\/1120545556\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Barnes and Nobles<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Seven years later, she released <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Innermost Journey: Poems for Lifetime<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is currently out of stock.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Orange\u2019s interest in writing has been evident from a young age. When she was 5, her mom often found her armed with a pen and a pad, writing or reading poems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In retirement, Orange plans to expand her creative writing, promote her two books and travel to New York, Europe and Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cShe\u2019s a prime example of what Miami Dade College is,\u201d\u00a0 Ley-Soto said. \u201cA community for all.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click<\/span><\/i><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/mdcthereporter.us19.list-manage.com\/subscribe?u=4fc6146412415baee32007fd7&amp;id=b5cd3712dc\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> here<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to subscribe to our bi-weekly newsletter, The Hammerhead.
