About

I am a detail oriented newly certificated paralegal who applies excellent writing skills in all areas of paralegal work, including drafting of briefs, motions and correspondence. I require little guidance from supervisors and am able to competently manage multiple complex assignments. I have excellent time management skills and an ability to look ahead proactively at all cases in order to bring tasks to completion in a timely manner.
