Hi, I’m

It is never too late to be what you might have been.
George Eliot
Summary
I am a composed self driven and independent leader who is passionate about her work and dynamics of working in a team. I always aim to demonstrate the motive and multi-tasking abilities required to meet deadlines.
I have practical experience in drafting legal letters and some legal pleadings such as S65, instructing sheriffs and tracers. I’ve done a bit of training in court on-line and case line.
As the legal secretary, for years I have provided excellent customer service to diverse group of clients by answering phone calls, emails and in-person enquiries.
I seek an environment of growth to meet my career and personal goals, one being a qualified paralegal and maybe one day an admitted attorney.
