Paralegal at Levin Papantonio

Pensacola, Florida, United States

About

I began my legal career interning at a small firm in Auburn, AL. Fast forward through college, I joined Levin Papantonio, where my first “big project” was the 3M Earplug litigation. Our firm had the opportunity to represent a client in the very first Bellwether Trial. Since then, I’ve been involved in several national mass torts, including the Opioids litigation, the Philips CPAP, BiPAP, and Ventilator recall, and most recently, the Camp Lejeune Water Contamination suit. I’m incredibly fortunate to work at a firm that not only fosters a strong team culture but also truly cares about the people we represent. Mass torts has been a whirlwind—in the best way. It’s not often you find a legal path that allows you to blend litigation, leadership, education, and social impact all in one role.
