Summary
Paralegal motivated to continually improve and extend personal skills and knowledge to attain increased responsibility and opportunities for professional growth.
I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Pennsylvania State in August of 2023 and am looking for a law firm I can grow into.
I plan to attend law school in 2024, at U of MN Law and would love to start gaining the experience necessary to start a long legal career.
I am looking for a firm that is willing to take me in as a paralegal and shape my career as an attorney.
I am proud of analytical skills, attention to detail, and obsession with perfection. I rarely miss anything and if I do, I learn from it. I am passionate about case law and legal precedent. I am a quick learner who requires little guidance.
If there is one thing you should know about me, it is how dedicated I am to my dream of becoming an attorney.
