What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a federal position as a Contract Specialist or Inventory Management Specialist.

At Daniel, Lawson, Tuggle & Jerles, LLP, I conduct legal and policy research and write analyses for senior attorneys. I also draft memoranda, reports, and court documents.

I work with local government entities on regulatory compliance and public administration projects, and track case developments to support organized case management.

Previously, I served as a Law Clerk with the South Georgia Judicial Circuit, researching and drafting memoranda to support judicial decision-making. I analyzed case law and procedural rules, including for habeas corpus matters, and helped coordinate court proceedings.

My experience also includes legal research, drafting, and case documentation at Sullivan Firm (Bree Howell) and Law Office of David Herndon. I hold a Juris Doctorate from Liberty University School of Law and am seeking a federal position as a Contract Specialist or Inventory Management Specialist.
