Samaria McDonald
@samariamcdonald
I support legal teams and student-athletes through research, document management, academic planning, and operations.
What I'm looking for
I'm supporting litigation work at Margolis Edelstein through discovery, document management, calendar coordination, trial preparation, exhibit management, e-filing, and case management software.
At Pennsylvania State University, I developed individualized academic success and degree-progression plans for football student-athletes and contributed to a 40%+ improvement in the institution's national academic performance rating. My graduate work in criminal justice, homeland security, and government has strengthened my legal writing, research, policy analysis, strategic decision-making, and ethical leadership.
