What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values organizational excellence and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a certified Paralegal and experienced Executive Assistant with over 13 years of supporting attorneys, managing legal workflows, and coordinating complex projects. With a strong foundation in business litigation, contract law, and legal operations, I excel in streamlining processes, conducting legal research, and managing high-priority documents with accuracy and discretion.

My background includes working as a Corporate Paralegal at Sullivan & Worcester, where I played a key role in contract review, document management, case preparation, and compliance tracking. I am also proficient in legal technology, including Westlaw, NetDocs, and Legal Tracker, ensuring seamless workflow automation and case organization.

In addition to my legal expertise, I bring strong operational and project management skills, certified in both Web Design and Project Management. I thrive in remote work environments, leveraging tools like Asana, Trello, Slack, and Monday.com to enhance collaboration and efficiency.

My diverse skill set, attention to detail, and ability to adapt to fast-paced environments make me a valuable asset to any legal team. I am always looking for new opportunities to apply my expertise in legal administration, project coordination, and operational support.
