What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented and proactive administrative professional with over 20 years of experience supporting court and office operations.

Throughout my career, I have acted as an in-court clerk for Superior Court Criminal judges, where I maintained precise legal records and ensured the confidentiality of sensitive information. My role involved drafting legal documents, managing case dockets, and supporting judges with legal research. I have built strong relationships with judges and attorneys, establishing data tracking systems to measure courtroom impact and enhance operational effectiveness.
In addition to my professional experience, I am committed to community service, having volunteered as a secretary for the Monmouth Association for the Blind and provided support to the Parkwoods Group Home. I am passionate about using my skills to make a positive impact both in the workplace and in my community.
