Personable paralegal who displays the utmost level of professionalism and confidentiality. follows directives and employs all necessary steps to excel in high-pressure situations. willing to continually research and learn new techniques on how to improve the efficiency and the efficacy of each case.

I have an extensive experience in the legal field working as a paralegal and a forensic linguist analyst for the past 8 years. As a forensic linguist, I assisted with on-going high-profile cases by analyzing language in forensic context for the purposes of linguistic profiling, authorship analysis, and threat assessment, at state and federal level. In addition to that, part of my work involved retrieving data from huge databases utilizing eDiscovery platforms e.g., Concordance, Relativity, and Westlaw. As a paralegal for the Public Defenders Agency, I assist 6 attorneys with legal research, drafting and reviewing documents, serve subpoenas, and be of service to whatever they need to be successful on cases.
