Summary

.I graduated with my Juris Doctor in January, and took the July Bar exam last week. I have extensive experience conducting legal research and preparing legal documents. In the past four years, I have routinely used Westlaw and Lexis Nexis platforms for legal research. I am a meticulous writer and editor, and I speak, read and write in French and Spanish.

I am the mother of four beautiful children, who share my appreciation of nature, World travel and subsistence gardening.
