I’m an experienced litigation paralegal with over 7 years of experience supporting attorneys in complex state and federal matters. With a specialized focus on personal injury litigation for the past 3+ years, I thrive in fast-paced legal environments where precision, organization, and proactive case management make all the difference.
My expertise spans the full litigation lifecycle—from initial pleadings through trial preparation. I’m particularly skilled at managing litigation calendars, computing critical deadlines, coordinating court filings across federal and state systems, and maintaining seamless communication with courts, clients, and insurance carriers. I pride myself on my ability to handle high-volume caseloads while ensuring every deadline is met and every detail is tracked.
What drives me is the challenge of keeping complex litigation matters running smoothly and supporting attorneys so they can focus on winning cases. Whether I’m negotiating settlements with insurance carriers, preparing comprehensive trial materials, or troubleshooting a last-minute filing issue, I bring the same level of dedication and attention to detail.
