I am a criminal defense paralegal and office manager with 15 years of experience in criminal law. My experience also includes prosecution support as well. I have assisted in major prosecution cases—homicides, wiretaps, undercover investigations—and contributed to outcomes such as preventing a wrongful conviction and helping secure a mistrial in criminal defense cases. I bring that real‑world perspective into every lesson.

In addition to criminal law, I tutor career development, college counseling, personal statements, essay writing, interview preparation, and thesis writing. Whether you are preparing for law school, navigating college coursework, or advancing your career, I offer structured, practical guidance that helps you stay organized, think critically, and present your best work.

I hold degrees in Criminal Justice, Law & Justice/Psychology, a Juris Master’s degree, advanced certification in criminal investigation, and certification in life coaching. This blend of legal training and coaching allows me to break down complex concepts, strengthen analytical thinking, and help students communicate with clarity and confidence.

I specialize in supporting pre‑law students, college learners, and adults who want to build strong academic and professional foundations.
