What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a position where I can support legal and client needs through accurate case management, legal research, and strong English communication—using my organizational skills and ability to work well with limited resources.

I’m a Paralegal and Legal Officer who supports legal teams with careful case management, legal research, and precise document preparation. I bring a strong sense of organization, attention to detail, and the ability to work efficiently with limited resources.

In my legal roles, I manage and maintain client files, track case deadlines and attorney calendars, and assist with pleadings, motions, discovery requests, and responses. I also conduct factual investigations, prepare materials for trials, hearings, and depositions, and format and file legal documents electronically and physically.

Before and alongside my legal experience, I strengthened communication and client-facing skills as a Customer Service Representative—handling calls, emails, chat messages, troubleshooting, and issue resolution. I’m also trained in English practice teaching, where I handled grammar, speech, and writing, which continues to support my written and oral legal communication.
