What I'm looking for

I seek an IP role where I can lead patent preparation and searching, support cross-functional teams, grow portfolio responsibilities, and contribute to a collaborative, detail-oriented environment.

I am a certified Canadian Patent Administrator with over three years as an in-house patent assistant and more than five years as a freelance patent searcher, skilled in preparing and prosecuting patent filings across multiple jurisdictions, conducting prior art searches, and maintaining docketing databases for large portfolios.

I combine strong analytical and organizational abilities with hands-on experience using PatSeer, PatSnap, AppColl, Microsoft Office and G Suite, and a proven record of meeting deadlines, supporting cross-functional teams, and improving patent strategy and portfolio management.
