Message

At Turnitin LLC, I review, redline, and negotiate SaaS agreements, balancing revenue velocity with legal, privacy, and security requirements. I partner with Sales, Deal Desk, Legal, and InfoSec to resolve contract issues and support data privacy workflows.

At Figma, Inc, I managed contract records, tracked non-standard provisions and ongoing obligations, and supported updates to legal templates, processes, and sales enablement materials. I also created guru cards to help the sales team navigate legal processes.

Earlier, I drafted legal documents and supported commercial litigation at Roberts, Markel, Weinberg, Butler, Hailey PC and Patrick O’Connor & Associates. My experience also includes reviewing vendor contracts at Houston Community College and legal research and case support at Hays County District Attorney’s Office.
