Education

As a trained paralegal, I am a passionate researcher who takes zealous advocacy to the next level. Going above and beyond for my clients is my normal work ethic.

Born and raised in New England, I spent the bulk of my early years in Westborough, MA and graduated from Westborough High School.

I went to university in North Carolina where I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, or UNCC as the locals call it. I majored in Criminal Justice and minored in French and proudly graduated Cum Laude. I took the opportunity to study abroad in England for my Junior year and attended Kingston University – London. I was able to travel on holidays and weekends, visiting Italy, France, Germany, Poland, Austria, Ireland, Spain, and the Netherlands. I was required to take a British Life & Culture class that involved field trips to different landmarks around England. On the day we visited Brighton, we witnessed massive lines outside UK bank Northern Rock, as customers queued up to withdraw their money. This was the start of the Great Recession.

As I entered my senior year of college, all hope of finding meaningful employment post-graduation seemed bleak. I completed an internship at the Mecklenburg County Work Release & Restitution Center where I worked with female inmates housed in a dormitory style environment who were convicted of crimes ranging from prostitution to driving under the influence. The supervisors in this correctional facility told me I was “too nice” to work in corrections, so I decided pursue a career as a paralegal. As is my typical workflow, I researched how one becomes a paralegal, prior to applying to the ABA (American Bar Association) approved certificate program at Northern Essex Community College. I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a 4.0 GPA and added “Paralegal Certificate” to my resume.

During my time at Amica Insurance, I took several insurance courses earning the professional designation of Associate in Claims (AIC). I am currently 3 classes away from an Associates degree in Healthcare and am self-taught in my quest of learning anything and everything about nutrition.

I chose Freedom Trail Realty School to complete my education requirements prior to taking the Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson exam. I passed the exam on the first try, so if you are considering a career in real estate and live in Massachusetts, definitely check them out.
