As a Judicial Calendar Coordinator, I manage the civil caseloads of Judge Robert D. Leonard II, Judge D. Victor Reynolds, and Judge Sonja N. Brown. This entails scheduling civil domestic and non-domestic cases for various types of hearings. I correspond with lawyers and pro-se litigants daily, and manage anywhere from 50-100 different emails and calls everyday. I also assist the Judges that I work for in the courtroom during large calendar calls. I typically am the first point of contact when the public needs information about a case for each office.

As a courtroom clerk, I was tasked with assisting judges in the courtroom during calendar calls and hearings. Some of the things that I would do were drafting criminal sentence forms, organizing and recording evidence, and annotating the calendars. This job made me someone that can think very quickly on my feet, as the calendars in Cobb County are often very large and require the courtroom clerk to manage a lot of information at once.
