MANAGEMENT

Super organized administrative skills: When working as a notary public agent, I was filing documents by categories, saving daily transactions by date, name and subject as well as maintaining office work in an organized and proper manner, applying good strategies in keeping an organized environment through placing each matter in its proper place

Meticulous attention to detail: As a lawyer, while writing down legal facts from a specific case; I gave importance to small details which can appear irrelevant in the statement, however I used them to make a turning point in the final result of the case.

Multi-tasking ability: In the notary public office, every day in peak hours, I experienced successful challenges by handling the load of work and customer requests at the same time. I was able to prepare the legal document requested by a customer present in front of me, giving some legal advice on a certain matter, answering a phone call and authenticate a different legal document by putting the proper stamps and official seal and date.

Experience

MOTHERHOOD TRANSFERABLE SKILLS 2012 - PRESENT

I am a mother of two beautiful children. Motherhood is a life-based establishment from the core foundations of life itself. It has taught me many different aspects and subjects of life and revealed the inner best of me. I became a more focused and constantly alert person covering overall well-being, safety, education and individual development. I learned to be keen on setting a good example and instilling good habits. Thanks to motherhood, I learned to be wiser, understanding, courageous, a better counselor, respectful and knowledgeable.

My most stellar accomplishment was the ability of having fortitude in time of crisis, taking an initiative when all other options are impossible, being creative and always finding a way through. This journey has enhanced in me autonomy, strength and self-confidence.
