What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to grow in the legal field, where I can utilize my skills in case management and legal research while contributing to meaningful work that supports justice and community empowerment.

I am a dedicated and passionate individual pursuing a career in law, currently completing my Bachelor of Criminal Justice with a minor in Pre-Law at Florida A&M University. My academic journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence, as evidenced by my 3.5 GPA and recognition on the Dean's List. I have gained practical experience through various roles, including my current position as a Certified Case Manager at Apalachee Center, where I develop individualized service plans and conduct assessments to ensure client safety and compliance.

In addition to my case management experience, I have served as a Law Intern at the Law Office of Anabelle Dias, where I honed my skills in legal research, drafting motions, and trial preparation. My ability to analyze complex legal documents and communicate effectively with various stakeholders has been instrumental in my professional development. I am also actively involved in organizations that advocate for the African American community and support minority female students pursuing careers in law, demonstrating my commitment to social justice and community empowerment.
