What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue supporting legal teams through case preparation, discovery coordination, research, filing, and organized trial-ready materials that help matters move forward efficiently.

I'm currently supporting the Financial Crimes Unit at the North Carolina Conference of District Attorneys, where I review case files, coordinate victim and law-enforcement interviews, prepare subpoenas and indictments, and organize discovery for trial readiness.

Across legal support, intake, and operations roles, I've maintained case records, prepared hearing and application materials, coordinated calendars and filings, and served as a reliable liaison for attorneys, clients, agencies, and stakeholders.
