Denise-Marie Cutter/McIntosh, a 2010 graduate of the Nashua Community College Paralegal Program with Academic Distinction, was awarded a full-tuition scholarship for the academic year 2011-2012 from The American College of History and Legal Studies (ACHLS), on her pathway to law school.

Denise-Marie, a Western Massachusetts native, who at a young age advocated for children’s rights in the foster care system and graduated from high school after her junior year, was also one of the first and youngest women to be asked to join the Chicopee Lions Club. Denise is still a forceful advocate for the rights of children and families. She is furthering her legal education with the goal to hold accountable those parties who are legally entrusted with the welfare of children and families.

Denise has actively served as President of the NCC Paralegal Club for 2009/2010, was an active participant with the Paralegal Association of New Hampshire serving on several committees, and has worked with legislators on laws affecting the community. She is also dedicated to promoting literacy as a member of the Nashua, N.H. Summerfun committee, and organizer of the acclaimed Fairy Tale Festival, specifically designed to promote literacy for children. The Fairy Tale Festival drew a record attendance of 5500 last year, and this year’s show on July 16, 2011 is sure to be a hit.

Denise continues to set the standard for professionals in the legal field. Prior to graduation, she conceived and implemented a full-day continuing legal education course on the pressing issue of domestic violence. Held in October of 2010, the course was approved by the New Hampshire Bar Association and the National Federation of Paralegal Associations for 6 credits including 1credit in ethics. The course received a 95% approval rating from those in attendance, demonstrating that Denise’s academic success is only matched by her success outside the classroom.

With creative social networking skills and a background in research, Denise is also a faithful steward of every task entrusted to her. Denise has been recognized as having the perseverance, initiative and extraordinary determination to succeed in any project, objective or goal she pursues. Her commitment to further her education in pursuing her legal career, often while working two or three jobs, is apparent, unwavering, and fervent.
