MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS COORDINATOR

Skilled in marketing and communications with a four-year background in law, I have tailored my legal career to consistently involve marketing responsibilities, proactively assuming communications tasks at the firms I’ve worked for while studying marketing. I am aiming to transition my career full-time into marketing. Key Accomplishments:

- Secured 14 new clients for Borah Goldstein’s Property Tax Litigation division via direct response marketing campaign I personally initiated. Working closely with the firm’s director of marketing, I designed and drafted the marketing collateral.

- On the strength of an appellate brief I authored contesting a hearing decision, finding the owner in violation for failure to file a façade certification, the Environmental Control Board reversed the holding, vacating $8,000 in penalties for our client. PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
