What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a labor and employment practice where I can manage cases end-to-end, draft litigation and arbitration filings, and support attorneys and clients with clear communication, strong research, and strict deadline control.

I’m a labor and employment paralegal who thrives on managing cases from intake through settlement and disbursement. I provide attorney-ready drafting, litigation support, and dependable deadline control across court, administrative, and arbitration matters.

In my current role, I handle a caseload of 150+ labor and employment matters, coordinate administrative complaints with agencies like the CRD and EEOC, and assist in JAMS and AAA arbitrations by preparing exhibits, evidence organization, arbitration filings, and hearing binders. I also support trials and mediations by building witness lists, exhibit binders, trial notebooks, and mediation briefs.

I’m also focused on client-centered communication and team effectiveness. As a bilingual professional (English/Spanish), I serve as a primary point of contact for clients and case participants, and I supervise law clerks and legal assistants—assigning and reviewing work to ensure timely, accurate deliverables. I’ve advanced my credentials through ABA-approved paralegal education and ongoing study in Paralegal Studies, including multiple achievement certificates.
