What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to utilize my legal and accounting skills while fostering professional growth in a supportive environment.

I am a dedicated professional with extensive experience in legal assistance and office management. Over the past several years, I have honed my skills in legal research, documentation, and client communication, ensuring that all tasks are completed with precision and efficiency. My role as a Legal Assistant at Burns Charest LLP allowed me to support attorneys through all stages of litigation, where I drafted pleadings and maintained high-volume client files.

In my current position as an Office & Accounting Assistant at MB Roofing LLC, I have successfully streamlined accounting processes using QuickBooks and project management tools. My ability to communicate effectively with vendors and manage office operations has significantly improved our workflow. I am passionate about leveraging my skills in both legal and accounting environments to contribute positively to any organization.
