At Servicios Legales de Puerto Rico, I support attorneys serving disadvantaged populations through case preparation, legal research, and legal-document drafting. I also provide one-on-one legal orientations and deliver community seminars about legal rights and available resources.

At LUMA Energy, I worked as a Contract Specialist, handling contract negotiations, review, compliance, and execution after RFP adjudication. I collaborated with legal, procurement, engineering, and finance teams on contract terms and scopes of work.

At Bufete García Franco, I progressed from Receptionist to Case Manager & Legal Specialist and oversaw the operational and legal-administrative functions of a bankruptcy practice. I managed case workflows and deadlines, reviewed filings, and supervised attorneys and staff.
