United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a strategic and systems-savvy legal operations professional with over nine years supporting global litigation, pre-litigation, and regulatory matters across corporate, government, and private sectors.

In my current role I lead global case management, serve as the primary liaison with outside counsel, oversee eDiscovery workflows, and manage legal holds and data preservation. I have negotiated vendor agreements and outside counsel billing, developed and maintained matter budgets, and supported complex cross-border data collection and review.

I bring a pragmatic, process-oriented approach to improving legal operations and enabling better matter outcomes.
