What I'm looking for

I am looking for an entry-level paralegal position where I can grow my skills, contribute to a supportive legal team, and engage in meaningful work that helps clients navigate their legal needs.

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented professional currently pursuing an Associate Degree in Paralegal Studies. With a strong background in administrative support and client communication, I am eager to apply my legal education and transferable experience to contribute effectively to a legal team. My Notary Public certification further enhances my qualifications, ensuring that I can handle legal documents with the utmost professionalism and accuracy.

Throughout my career, I have developed a robust skill set that includes legal research and writing, document drafting, and case file organization. My experience as an Order Entry Specialist has honed my ability to maintain confidentiality and manage documentation accurately, while my role as a Lead Teacher required strong communication skills and the ability to multitask in a high-responsibility environment. I am committed to supporting attorneys and clients alike with a focus on confidentiality, compliance, and attention to detail.
