To Whom It May Concern,

I am Keyanna Gartin, a recent graduate from Indiana University Robert H.

Mckinney School of Law, I am looking to expand my professional horizon.

Currently, I work in Risk Management for Defender Direct and serve as an

Adjunct Professor for the Paralegal/ Legal Studies program at Brown Mackie

College. It is my outgoing personality, perseverance, and experience that

make me a strong candidate for the position

I have gained skill and exposure to different areas of the law by working

for various law offices and government agencies. In the past, I have

interned for the Law Office of Everett Powell and the Law Office of Carl

Epstein, where I drafted motions and interrogatories. I also have done

volunteer work at the Marion County Prosecutor's Office through the law

school's Pro Bono Program, where I conducted legal research concerning

Miranda warnings, Search and Seizure, and issues concerning the Right to

Counsel. Further, I have worked as a Judicial Clerk for Henry County

Circuit Court and the Indiana Court of Appeals, where I researched and

wrote opinions on matters concerning the Sentencing Guidelines, Ineffective

Counsel, Parole Revocation and Abuse of Discretion.

Throughout law school, I have drastically improved my legal writing,

research, and analysis skills. I have expanded my ability to develop clear

and concise writings. Additionally, I have gained practical knowledge and

experience after taking courses such as Mediation, Interviewing and

Counseling, Alternate Dispute Resolution, Moot Court and Trial Practice.

Further, I won a mock jury trial where I represented a Defendant being

charged with Murder. In addition to my prior work experience and law

school training, I have completed 40 hours of mediation training and become

a certified domestic relations mediator.

Based on the foregoing, I am confident that my experience and personable

disposition would be an asset to your office. Therefore, I have attached a

copy of my resume for your review. Thank you for your time and

consideration.

Sincerely,

Keyanna R. Gartin
