I am a Legal Administrative Assistant with a Bachelor of Science in Biology, bringing a detail-oriented and analytical approach to legal support in fast-paced law firm environments. My background in science has shaped how I work—prioritizing accuracy, organization, and critical thinking—skills that translate directly into preparing and proofreading legal documents, managing confidential information, and maintaining structured filing systems. In my current role at DuMoulin Boskovich LLP, and previously at Pushor Mitchell LLP, I support lawyers through document preparation, client communication, and file management, ensuring consistency, precision, and efficiency in daily operations. I have experience working directly with clients to gather and coordinate information, and I am comfortable managing sensitive matters with professionalism and discretion. I am particularly interested in roles that combine legal administration with client interaction and operational support, including intake coordination and opportunities within in-house legal teams.

Thesis: Characterization of Morphology and Growth Traits of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) Under Nutrient Variability Key Achievements: - Discovered novel spore size variation patterns in Rhizophagus irregularis (Cuba8), demonstrating that optimal nutrient levels increased spore diameter by 22% compared to high/low conditions (p < 0.0001), with implications for sustainable soil management. - Designed and executed a controlled in vitro study quantifying AMF traits (hyphal length, tip count, spore diameter) using ImageJ/NeuronJ, revealing significant growth inhibition under high nutrient levels. - Pioneered protocol refinement for fungal culturing and microscopy, reducing experimental error by 15% through daily monitoring and contamination controls. - Authored a comprehensive thesis linking findings to agricultural sustainability, recommending AMF inoculation strategies to mitigate synthetic fertilizer dependency in low-nutrient soils. - Collaborated with a 5-researcher team to analyze nutrient trade-offs, presenting data-driven insights at lab meetings that informed future research on fungal-plant symbiosis.
