I have worked in the legal field since 1989 and as a paralegal since 1997.  I was employed with Sutherland & Collins (now Collins, McMahon & Harris) for 12 years.  While employed at Collins, McMahon & Harris, I attended Champlain College and received my Associate’s Degree in Paralegal Studies in 1997.  While at Collins, McMahon & Harris, I assisted in plaintiff litigation, personal injury and real estate.  I have been employed by Heilmann, Ekman & Associates, Inc. for the past 10 years where I assist on insurance defense cases, corporate work, personal injury and real estate.

I have been a VPO member since 2013 and in February 2014 became the Membership Committee Chair.

As Membership Committee Chair, I am charged with maintaining a membership database.  I am also responsible for ensuring membership renewals are timely received and reporting current membership information to the National Federation of Paralegal Associations.
