Charleston, South Carolina Metropolitan Area
I'm a new member of the South Carolina Bar and am excited to put my eleven years working in litigation as a paralegal to work as an attorney! Most of my career has been in workers’ compensation, split between plaintiff and defense work, which has given me a unique perspective and understanding of how both sides build, value, and negotiate cases. I've always wanted to help people and give a voice to the voiceless. I have supported attorneys in every stage of litigation and often took on responsibilities beyond a traditional paralegal role. That experience is what ultimately motivated me to attend law school and move into an attorney position. Now, I’m looking for a remote role where I can bring that foundation into my work as a new attorney. I enjoy analyzing cases, communicating with clients, and helping move matters toward resolution in a way that’s efficient and fair. I would love to learn more about opportunities with firms, companies, and organizations. Send me a connection request or message; I’m ready to contribute on day one and continue growing within a strong legal team!
