What I'm looking for

I’m looking to join a team where I can continue to grow, using my strengths in legal research, drafting, and case management to make a meaningful contribution in a fast-paced, client-focused environment.

I am a detail-oriented legal professional with over five years of hands-on experience across litigation, criminal law, employment law, personal injury, and estate planning. I’ve worked in roles including Candidate Attorney, Paralegal, and Legal Assistant, which has given me a solid understanding of how matters move from initial consultation through to resolution.

I am confident in legal research, drafting, and managing case files, and I’m comfortable working directly with clients while supporting attorneys in both fast-paced and remote environments. In my recent Paralegal & Case Manager role, I managed end-to-end client intake, assisted with evaluating claims (including workplace discrimination and wrongful termination), and drafted documents such as demand letters, complaints, and motions.

I take pride in being organised, reliable, and thorough, from evidence review (medical and employment records) to maintaining accurate, timely case progression. I also support estate planning and administration work—drafting documents, conducting research on probate processes, and assisting with trust-related disputes—so I can contribute meaningfully while continuing to grow.
