SHANNA M. FARRELL
To whom it may concern,
My name is Shanna Farrell. I have completed the American Bar Association approved Associate in
Science: Paralegal Studies degree at Kapiolani Community College in Honolulu, Hawaii. During the two years
I earned my AS degree I was also working full time in Hawaii Law firms to ensure that I could provide both
education and experience to future employers. Shortly after completing my AS degree Spring 2014, I moved
here to California. The time I spent in Hawaii required motivation, dedication and a high level of organization
to keep my grades up and complete the AS program in two years as well as being an asset to the firms I worked
for.
I believe that I bring a strong set of personal qualifications to any position, including commitment,
enthusiasm, flexibility, and reliability. In my varied work experiences, I have developed a reputation for being
well organized, disciplined and hard working. I am eager to bring these professional attributes to a stimulating
work setting, and I would welcome the opportunity to discuss employment possibilities with you.
Thank you for your interest and consideration. I look forward to speaking with you again.
Sincerely Yours,
Shanna M. Farrell
