I received my BA in Communications & Culture from Howard University in Washington, DC. In addition, I have worked in the fields of government, law, and communications. While working in these fields I have operated in several capacities, in which I have not only gained, but also further enhanced the necessary research skills that will allow me to be a successful researcher. These capacities include, but are not limited to; (1) As an Insurance Coverage Paralegal I led all aspects of litigation support for insurance carriers such as multinational insurance giant American International Group, Inc. with representation in suits involving: (1) Asbestos, DES, silica, lead paint, Fen-phen, solvents, and other mass tort substances, (2) Environmental issues, (3) Occupational disease, (4) Construction defects, (5) Healthcare related matters, and (6) Concussion litigation involving national sports leagues. (2) For two years as a Special Assistant & Regulatory Compliance Associate I was responsible reviewing subpoena productions of business records, New York Department of State records, and the Federal Trade Commission’s Consumer Sentinel Network to identify bad actors, deceptive trade practices, and non-compliance with federal, state, & local laws. In addition to this I was also responsible for researching and analyzing consumer and business behavior to identify areas where federal, state, and local laws can be strengthened as well as enacted to protect consumers. (3) During my time at United States Congress as a Legislative & Communications Liaison Intern I reviewed and researched legislative and policy initiatives that had an impact district wide as well as on a national level relating to immigration, homeland security, international cooperation with North and South American nations, education, and healthcare. As I’ve highlighted above, throughout my career I have gained a lot of experience in research, analysis, and writing that are invaluable to the role you are looking to fill. I have the educational background and professional experience that you are searching for. In addition, I am motivated and enthusiastic, and would appreciate the opportunity to contribute to your project.
