I have been working in law firms for majority of my 20s. While still going to college part time and maintaining a 3.3 GPA for both my majors. I truly enjoy learning about the job but also pushing myself to do more. I enjoy working with a team, while also keeping team work as a core center of my work ethic. I was an unofficial official paralegal assistant working very closely and learning the ropes of being a paralegal. I have a great desire to keep pushing myself and learning more. I have had my hand in many mass tort cases. I have worked with depositions, scheduling, doctors, subpoenas and so much more. Thank you for the time to review my resume and summary. Work Experience
