What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role that utilizes my legal expertise, administrative skills, and passion for helping others, with opportunities for growth and making a positive impact.

As a seasoned paralegal with 12 years of experience, I have mastered the intricacies of litigation, collections, commercial law, corporate law, and family law. My expertise in transcription, formatting, and drafting complex legal documents has established my reputation for precision and clarity. With a robust background in legal administration, I effectively support high-level executives and attorneys, driving seamless operations and ensuring successful case resolutions.

With a strong work ethic and exceptional organizational skills, I can provide top-notch support in any legal setting. I am a team player, adept at collaborating with internal and external stakeholders to achieve common goals.

My commitment to helping others extends beyond my professional life; I actively support my community by feeding neighborhood children during festive seasons, making a tangible difference in their lives. I am determined to achieve financial freedom, own my home and car, and continue my mission to positively impact those around me.
