Litigation Paralegal

I am a Senior Civil Litigation Paralegal with more than 25 years of experience in the legal field. I began my career in 2000 at a reputable insurance defense firm in Las Vegas, starting as a file clerk and working my way up through roles as a receptionist and legal secretary before becoming a paralegal. I earned my paralegal certification in 2013 and have since developed a well-rounded background across multiple areas of law.

Throughout my career, I have worked in insurance defense, criminal law, family law, real estate, and civil litigation, with a strong focus on personal injury cases on the plaintiff sides, as well as prisoner civil rights matters. This diverse experience allows me to approach each case with a broad perspective and a deep understanding of the legal system.

What I value most about my work is the ability to truly help people. Over time, I found that plaintiff-side civil litigation aligns most with who I am and how I want to serve others. I take a very hands-on, personal approach with my clients—I am there for them not just throughout their case, but often beyond it. I’ve built lasting relationships with many of the people I’ve worked with, and it’s not uncommon for me to stay in touch, check in, and support them through important moments in their lives.

My work in prisoner rights advocacy is deeply personal. After the loss of my daughter’s father in a Nevada prison in 2021, I became committed to helping others navigate the complexities of in-custody death cases and the Nevada Department of Corrections. That experience led me to start a nonprofit organization focused on in-custody deaths and re-entry services for formerly incarcerated individuals and their families.

I believe what sets me apart is not just my experience, but my compassion, empathy, and genuine care for the people I serve. For me, this work is more than a profession—it’s personal.
