What I'm looking for

I am seeking an administrative role in a dynamic, growth-focused environment where I can apply my strong organizational and communication skills.

With over five years of experience in legal support and office administration, I have honed my skills in managing complex tasks independently while demonstrating leadership, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. My current role as a Paralegal at Preszler Injury Lawyers has allowed me to deliver proactive and accurate file management and administrative support to a team of lawyers, enhancing overall efficiency and contributing to successful file outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have excelled in managing client communications and fostering strong relationships through effective verbal and written communication. I take pride in ensuring timely updates that improve client satisfaction. Additionally, I have aided management in completing Human Resources tasks, such as interviewing, hiring, and onboarding new staff, which has fostered a positive firm culture and collaborative environment.
