🔹 My RoleAs lead paralegal of the Wage and Hour department at Medina McKelvey: > I manage all documents, data, and information related to each of our firm’s active class action and PAGA matters;> I drive our litigation cases forward by tracking and preparing the team for upcoming litigation, investigation, and potential resolution deadlines; and > I analyze data and calculate key data points that are the foundation for case and exposure analyses that inform the litigation team on viable litigation and resolution strategies moving forward. 🔹 My SkillsBusiness owners when they are served a lawsuit against their company that alleges millions of dollars in penalties and missing wages are having one of their worst days professionally. From my experience as a behavior therapist, I have learned a tremendous amount of patience and empathy for those going through intense emotional reactions and how to help redirect such individuals and keep them moving forward and making progress. My time with TedX Sacramento taught me the importance of details and thoroughness when preparing for every potentiality for our events that I use every day in tracking my cases. 💫 My JoyOrder and challenge are some of my core values. I love looking at a process or a set of information and figuring out how to improve it or make it more accessible to others. I also really look forward to interacting with my co-workers. They are a great group of people that I enjoy spending time with, who care about me and what’s going on in my life, and who help me stay positive throughout the workday. 🎯 My GoalI find that the legal field tends to be a bit intimidating and mysterious to the average person. A mystery that is shrouded behind a very expensive pay wall. Information is powerful, and I aim to help empower people with knowledge in a field that our firm is an expert. 🔹 My QualitiesI am inquisitive, unafraid to ask questions, and will guide you through the process of gathering the necessary documents and data we need to properly investigate your case. 📢 My AdviceTake this lawsuit or potential lawsuit seriously. It may seem easier to ignore, but a lawsuit is serious, and it can be potentially scary. But also know that we are here to help you through it, and we will get you through it if you let us help you. 🌟 My HobbiesI get excited shopping for things that help me organize my house. Trying new recipes that turn out well make me happy. 🏆 My SpecialtiesCalifornia Employment Law | Wage and Hour | PAGA
