During my first year at Morris, Manning & Martin, I gained valuable exposure and experience working for the firm's commercial real estate practice. I performed legal and administrative tasks for partners and associates alike, and went above and beyond expectations by successfully training subsequently-hired admin team members. During this period, I was selected to train as a hybrid legal assistant for one of the most senior partners in the firm; I also trained in basic paralegal tasks and was given a billing rate to handle overflow real estate paralegal work. Examples of work I performed during this time include assembling closing binders, assembling title binders, editing legal documents, preparing client correspondence, and preparing files to be sent for offsite storage.

As first an intern, then as a staff associate, I prepared weekly communications updates on national labor and education policies that were sent to all member mayors and city councils, including the Workforce Development Council's weekly newsletter. I also assisted with preparations for the Conference’s annual meeting in Honolulu, as well as the Workforce Development Council’s quarterly meeting in Houston; I attended both meetings, took notes, and helped with follow-up tasks afterward. I attended congressional hearings and briefings, as well as panels at the Department of Labor, and prepared reports for my supervisor. Finally, I acted as a point of contact between membership and Workforce Development Council staff, and assisted our partners around the country in preparing annual surveys and reports for membership.

During my time working in the registrar's office, I helped to create a student guide to NYU’s registration software, Albert, after program updates. I was also responsible for NYU Shanghai’s classroom and study room reservation system, and managed booking requests. I assisted registrar staff with student registration and graduation preparations, and was the first point of contact between students and the registrar’s office. I also created and updated key spreadsheets during registration week, and helped students troubleshoot issues they had with our registration software.

My responsibilities included assisting the education law attorneys and paralegals keep up-to-date with cases, indexing pleadings and other court documents, basic paperwork and clerical duties, and doing small amounts of research in the law library.
