What I'm looking for

I seek a role applying my paralegal and licensed adjuster expertise to handle complex claims, contracts, legal research, and document preparation in a collaborative, public-sector or legal team that values accuracy and professional growth.

I am a senior paralegal and licensed Texas claims adjuster with extensive municipal government experience.

I independently conduct in-depth legal research, draft contracts, ordinances and requests for council action, and manage complex property, automobile, general liability, contract, workers’ compensation and subrogation claims while supporting trial and litigation preparation for city attorneys.

I have created City Council agendas, verified contractor officer compliance, prepared contracts for executive signature, and maintained document archives using Novus Agenda, Excel and Outlook; I also handle claims intake and perform medical-terminology-heavy research and proofreading.

I deliver meticulous attention to detail, strong investigative and negotiation skills, and a commitment to timely, accurate resolution of claims and contracts; I thrive in collaborative public-sector legal teams focused on accountability and service.
