Summary
Currently I work as a Military Justice Paralegal with the United States Air Force, where I draft memorandums, motions, and ensure evidence is properly prepared for all legal proceedings. I am a junior year student at the American Military University, with a Major in Legal Studies. I am looking to expand my knowledge on litigation and become a defense attorney. I have significant experience trouble shooting gained from both my current career and from time served as a C-130 avionics technician. I have attributes in leadership, analytics, trial competency, and judicial proceedings. I aim to apply my background in Military Justice and Aircraft Maintenance to succeed in the rigorous Law School academic environment.
