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.
I realized work as a litigation paralegal was right for me through my engagement with complex case preparation, organizing details, supporting strategy and contributing to meaningful outcomes in high-pressure environments.
I make a priority list of tasks, identifying those that need to be handled immediately versus what can wait.
Adaptability — the ability to quickly shift priorities, manage unexpected changes and stay effective under pressure in a constantly evolving litigation environment.
Managing strict deadlines, large document volumes and high-pressure situations are key challenges. I stay organized, detail-oriented and calm under pressure to ensure accuracy and keep cases moving efficiently.
