A LITTLE ABOUT ME:
Where are you from? I was born in Manila, Philippines, but came to the US with my mom when I was 2 and raised in Orange County, CA.
What’s your ethnicity? Filipina American
How old are you? 23 (2000’s baby :))
Where did you go to college? Cal State San Marcos
What did you study in college? BA in Political Science with a minor in Literature & Writing
What’s your current position? Legal assistant.
What’s your birthday and sign? 07/22/2000; Cancer through and through :)
Favorite music artist? Easy, Taylor Swift.
Favorite food? Anything Italian or Mexican (I love me some carbs).
Favorite TV show? There’s too many and I tend to change my mind depending on my mood haha. Some of my favorites are Stranger Things, This is Us, Supernatural, The Bold Type, and Selling Sunset (if I need a guilty pleasure haha).
I am 6 months in to my job, never had any experience before this and the firm gave me a chance. I hope they never regret it because it is honestly the best job ive ever had. The hustling of working these cases and the office vibe as well as people ive met is just awesome. I do sometimes feel lost but now im someone that new people go to ask questions which is mind blowing. Im so glad i saw your video and applied to this job, very grateful to you for showing me this path.
That’s amazing!! thank you for sharing your experience 😍
what aspect do you work in? litigation or...?
Hey, may I know how did you acquire this role without experience.
I like the discipline over motivation super agree :)
When I heard that, it clicked for me!💡
these are so realistic tips..thank you!
Also law firms, especially in California, look for Paralegals that have a certificate. You can take schooling for this & it takes a year to complete. You get a better chance to get hired & perhaps s higher pay.
Very true! I think education/ experience can only benefit you in any field
Icie, I really appreciate your content. This video was so encouraging. Here’s my story, I was a Legal Assistant for 8 years and I agree the first 6 months were rough because you’re learning. I recently left the company and went to a new company working as a Financial Management Specialist. The office is so toxic because of the manager. She beat me up for every mistake and it’s no training. You learn as you go.
Now I am looking to go back to a firm as a Legal Assistant.
Thank you for sharing your story with me ❤️

Hi Icie, I've been watching your legal assistant vlogs and I am interested to dive in the field. I am currently studying Juris Doctor in the Philippines and I've been working as a Virtual Assistant for 2 years now but not in the Legal Industry. Please continue making content like this. Sending love from Philippines!
Wow, good luck with your studies!! And definitely, thank you for your support 😍
I have an interview and I’m nervous. I hope I get the job 😅.
Good luck!! You got this 😊
hi! I just heard of Legal Assistant; I was wondering if you needed a degree for this position! I have an associates degree from community college, and I am in the process of getting my BA In Psychology degree! I am an online student, so do I look for a internship before I graduate or after I graduate college? also is BA In PSYCHOLOGY a ok degree to get for undergraduate degree to get a job as a Legal Assistant? I am In New York, a suburb north or NYC
