What I'm looking for

I seek Paralegal/Legal Assistant roles in U.S. firms where I can apply litigation, document review, and case-management skills, grow in immigration law, and contribute in collaborative, compliance-focused teams.

I am a detail-oriented licensed attorney in Brazil with over five years of experience in civil litigation, consumer law, contract review, and public-sector budgeting and program coordination. I have a proven track record in case management, legal research (LexisNexis/Westlaw-style tools), drafting pleadings and contracts, meeting strict deadlines, and supporting judicial processes both as an intern and practicing lawyer.

I seek to leverage my organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills in Paralegal or Legal Assistant roles in the U.S., bringing experience in client intake, discovery and document review, procurement and compliance oversight, and cross-functional team coordination. I am committed to continuous learning—currently pursuing Paralegal Certification in Immigration—and to delivering accurate, ethical legal support under pressure.
