I have worked in the legal field for the past 15 years. I obtained my Post-Graduate Paralegal Certificate in 2007. Since 2016, I have taken on an additional role as biller / accounts payable and receivable clerk for my firm. During the past 15 years, I have learned and perfected skills that will be valuable for work in many industries. I am passionate about research and writing or, more broadly, taking large amounts of information and organizing it into the most relevant, easy to comprehend, and even most persuasive format. I am highly organized and detail-oriented.
