What I'm looking for

I seek a role in a supportive legal environment that values growth and collaboration.

I am a highly motivated and detail-oriented Paralegal with over 7 years of experience in legal and medical administrative support, project management, and client service. My journey in the legal field began with my education at Oakton Community College, where I graduated with an Associate of Science in Paralegal Studies, earning recognition as a President’s Scholar and multiple scholarships. This academic success reflects my dedication to excellence and my commitment to the legal profession.

Currently, I am interning at ASAJ, ESQ, where I prepare mediation-ready materials, conduct legal research, and assist in client interviews for EEOC-related employment discrimination cases. My role involves ensuring adherence to procedural guidelines and confidentiality standards, which I approach with the utmost diligence. I am also certified as an Oregon Notary Public and proficient in various legal software, including Westlaw and Microsoft Office, which enhances my ability to support legal teams effectively.
