Kylee Bertrand Email & Phone Number

Throughout my education I have explored the ways in which my biracial identity has influenced my passion for equality within our justice system. I discovered a unique interest in the development, implementation and role of criminal justice policy, and the ways in which it historically and presently disproportionately affects minority populations. In the completion of my Bachelor and Master's degree I was able to develop my critical analysis and research skills. Specifically, I have developed the ability to understand the complexity of social identities and outline interconnections amongst identity, socio-cultural processes, and social structures. As a student of the Paralegal program at Sheridan College, I have been able to develop skills relating to advocacy, legal research, writing and analysis.Throughout the entirety of my education, I have also balanced a competitive soccer schedule. I attended Southwestern Oklahoma State University on a full soccer scholarship, and completed my Master’s degree, at the University of Guelph, while being an active member of the Dominica Women’s National Team. My experience as a student athlete taught me time management and helped shape me into an individual who can take on leadership, communicate effectively, and make impactful decisions under pressure. I am able to work well independently or with others.I look forward to the possibility of a rewarding career where I have the ability to advocate and support persons navigating the legal system.

Listed skills include Microsoft Word, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Powerpoint, Team Leadership, and 5 others.
