I began as a receptionist at McDaniel Wolff, PLLC, in 2021 and have since progressed into administrative roles, including office manager. In my current role as a litigation paralegal, I support attorneys throughout the lifecycle of a case by managing files, drafting documents and assisting with trial preparation and support.
