What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a detail-driven paralegal or legal operations role where I can manage contracts and case workflows, conduct research and drafting, and coordinate discovery while collaborating closely with attorneys to meet deadlines.

I’m a paralegal with over eight years’ experience supporting attorneys and legal teams in both law firm and in-house settings. I bring strength in contract and case management, intake coordination, complex legal research, document drafting, court docketing, discovery, and project management.

In my current role as a Senior Legal Records Specialist (hybrid), I manage contract lifecycle administration to ensure compliance with legal requirements, organizational policies, and the Records Retention Schedule. I prepared over 3,000 legal records for contract lifecycle management software migration and reviewed over 10,000 legal records for destruction and archive, while coordinating discovery and production for legal holds and public records requests.

Previously, I’ve supported remote litigation and contract work, including drafting responses to consumer complaints, handling UCC-1 lien filings with 100% accuracy, and assisting with small claims matters such as motions, NDAs, and settlement agreements. I’ve also contributed to training for less experienced legal staff and taken on multi-state e-filing and docketing—always balancing accuracy, speed, and clear communication.
