Summary
Building on a foundation in Law & Paralegal Studies, I have honed expertise in legal research, document preparation, and trial procedures through experiences at the Kings County Supreme Court, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, and Boston Consulting Group. As a War Hazard Paralegal at Flicker, Garelick & Associates, I assist attorneys in managing complex cases and legal documentation. Beyond legal work, I am passionate about social justice, especially youth empowerment in the child welfare system, where I serve as a board member of the 'Are You Listening?' Committee. My interests span human resources, policy, and advocacy, while my core focus remains on advancing paralegal work to make a meaningful impact in every role I undertake.
