Experienced case worker and paralegal with bilingual expertise.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated professional with extensive experience in social services and legal support. My journey began as a case worker at Japanese American Social Service Inc., where I provided essential services through various programs. My role allowed me to connect with diverse communities and address their needs effectively.
Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in document review and legal translation, working with major law firms on high-stakes cases. I have a proven track record of conducting thorough document reviews, tagging relevancy, and translating critical documents. My bilingual proficiency in Japanese and English has been a significant asset in bridging communication gaps in legal contexts.
With a Bachelor of Arts in Music/Business from Berklee College, I bring a unique perspective to my work. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute positively to organizations that value diversity and community engagement.
