As a judicial assistant, I performed many duties such as managing judges’ calendars, coordinating and scheduling pre-trial hearings and trials, and determining types of cases and allotted times. In addition, my duties include coordinating and scheduling courtroom assignments and providing support to other personnel, such as court reporters, bailiffs, and clerks.

I believe in perfection and never leave a task unless it’s 100% complete as desired. To counter this, I constantly remind myself to stop when I am ahead. Recently, I have started feeling that I am listening to myself.

Being an organized individual, I manage my work in a way that does not put pressure on me. I ensure that my schedule is planned in an organized way.
