My Bio: Carol Felder

I am currently pursuing an Associate Degree in Paralegal Studies at Bryant & Stratton College, with an expected graduation date of December 2025. I have a strong interest in legal research, document preparation, and supporting attorneys in various areas of law. Through my coursework, I’ve developed valuable skills in legal writing, case analysis, and the use of legal software tools.

In addition, I work as a caregiver, supporting individuals in regaining their independence and stability. This role has strengthened my attention to detail, time management, and compassion, all qualities that I plan to carry into my legal career.

I am determined to work in a law firm, ideally in criminal law or as a legal clerk. I am eager to apply what I’ve learned, gain hands-on experience, and continue growing professionally while contributing meaningfully to the legal field.
