Summary

With over six years of dedicated experience in customer service, I've refined my ability to connect with people and address their needs effectively. This passion for assisting others has been the driving force behind my decision to pursue a career in criminal law. Currently in my third year of law and legal studies, I've maintained an 11 GPA, reflecting a blend of academic excellence and practical experience to the table. Through my extensive experience in customer service, I've cultivated robust interpersonal skills and a sharp attention to detail. I excel in environments where meticulousness and dedication to excellence are valued, qualities that have become second nature to me. I am inherently collaborative, thriving in environments where teamwork propels success. In my next professional role, I am eager to merge my passion for customer service with my growing legal expertise, contributing to a dynamic team while continuing to expand my knowledge in the legal field.
