EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

I am currently working as a litigation and finance assistant at DML Attorneys. After initially working as a laboratory assistant in pathology, I completed my paralegal courses in civil litigation and debt

I enjoy learning new things and pushing myself

beyond my comfort zone. When I work, I like to

consider things systematically, looking at how

various components fit together to produce the

end result. I am a dedicated, hard-working

individual who loves looking for an opportunity to learn and grow.
