****************@***********.***
I have extensive experience as a Bankruptcy Paralegal. In addition, I have experience drafting documents and filing in other Courts and States through my Freelance Work. I procure a can-do attitude and will go above and beyond to get the job done. I am very organized and work well without supervision. I take pride in my work and strive to be on top and never let you down. I am seeking either a long-term, permanent position as my only position or short-term temporary work to add to my Freelance duties. I would like to continue working Remotely as I find this to be the perfect work/life balance that allows me to excel.
