I am an ABA-certified paralegal with significant law firm experience and excellent organizational skills. I graduated from Siena College with a Bachelors of Arts in History. Following graduation, I developed a passion and interest in law and obtained my paralegal certification at Fairleigh Dickinson University. For the past two years, I have worked as a paralegal with the Law Office of John P. Hendrzak, staff counsel for Zurich American Insurance Company. My responsibilities included providing personal injury litigation support to three primary attorneys and a team of six attorneys. Part of those responsibilities included preparing legal documents such as Answers, Answers to Interrogatories, Motions, subpoenas and arbitration and trial briefs and managing the attorneys calendar. Prior to joining the Law Office of John P. Hendrzak, I was employed as a paralegal with the Law Offices of Cindy Thompson, staff counsel for GEICO. I worked closely with staff attorneys to prepare for arbitration hearings involving fee scheduling disputes. In that capacity, I obtained the requisite patient medical statements and analyze injuries and treatment plans consistent with PIP guidelines.I earned my paralegal studies certificate at Fairleigh Dickinson University, graduating with a 3.48 GPA. During the program, I completed coursework in civil litigation, legal research and writing, ethics, real estate, family law, wills, estates and trusts, and other subjects. Additionally, I bring a track record of professional excellence in achieving personal, departmental and company goals. While employed at TD Bank, I achieved personal sales goals and assisted in achieving sales goals for my branch. As a teacher in Prince George’s County, Maryland, I raised student test scores by five percent as compared to the previous year. I am confident that my professional and education experiences will allow me to make an immediate, positive, and lasting contribution to your company.
