What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an operations or program management role with broader organizational impact, where I can lead teams, improve workflows, coordinate resources, and support critical deadlines.

I've led legal support operations at the California Department of Justice since 2022, supervising 12 staff who support attorneys across multiple practice areas.

I coordinate high-volume workloads, adjust hybrid staffing coverage, monitor workload trends, and work with attorneys and leadership to resolve bottlenecks while meeting strict court deadlines.

My work includes performance evaluations, onboarding, staff training, workforce planning, and maintaining compliance with departmental procedures and confidentiality standards.

Before becoming a supervisor, I supported attorneys, auditors, and legal teams through filings, legal document preparation, case tracking, trial logistics, and administrative workflows. I'm seeking operations or program management work where I can drive broader organizational impact.
