World Traveler and Paralegal

As a recent graduate from the Paralegal Program at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh - Fond Du Lac, I am enthusiastic about applying my education and experience to a meaningful career in law. I am especially passionate about advocating for the underdog and believe I have the skills and dedication needed to excel in this role.

My training in legal research, writing, and analysis has equipped me with a solid grounding in the legal field. I am eager to apply this knowledge in a practical setting to help those who might not have a voice. Along with my academic background, my work experience has instilled in me a strong work ethic, keen attention to detail, and effective communication skills.

Beyond my professional aspirations, I have a personal commitment to compassion and empathy.  I have two cats, Calvin and Chanel, who make my home a happier place. They remind me every day that small gestures of care and empathy can make a big difference. This lesson carries over into my professional life, where I aim to bring the same warmth and compassion to my work as a paralegal.  This compassion extends to my professional life, where I aim to support those who are often overlooked or marginalized.

I look forward to the opportunity to grow as a paralegal and am committed to further developing my skills and knowledge in the legal field. My passion for justice, combined with my strong work ethic and meticulous attention to detail, will make me a valuable asset to any legal team. I am particularly interested in using my skills to champion the rights of those who lack resources or representation, believing that everyone deserves access to justice.

I am grateful for the chance to pursue a career in the legal field and am excited about the journey ahead. I am confident that my passion for helping others, along with my training and experience, will enable me to make a significant difference in the lives of those I serve.

I aspire to be a paralegal because I believe in the transformative power of justice and the beauty that can emerge from adversity. One of my favorite sayings is, "You threw dirt on me and flowers grew." This quote perfectly captures the spirit of resilience in the face of challenges. As a paralegal, I want to be a part of helping people who have endured injustice to find a path to recovery and success. By supporting legal professionals, I can play a role in uncovering the truth, seeking fairness, and driving positive change in others' lives. I see my role as one of guidance and support, helping those who navigate the legal system turn their difficulties into opportunities for growth and healing. Ultimately, I aim to be a source of hope and empowerment, demonstrating that even in the darkest times, something beautiful can bloom.
