What I'm looking for

I seek a role applying my litigation support and legal operations expertise in a compliance-focused team where I can manage complex cases, liaise with stakeholders, and contribute to policy and risk mitigation.

I am a process-driven legal professional with over six years' experience supporting civil and military litigation, including courts-martial. I combine rigorous legal training with disciplined case lifecycle management to ensure procedural accuracy and confidentiality.

I have drafted and reviewed high volumes of contracts, pleadings, motions and affidavits, conducted in-depth legal research, and acted as a primary liaison with the Judiciary, the Attorney General’s Office and other government agencies. My work has focused on compliance, risk mitigation and efficient progression of cases from filing to resolution.

I have managed legal operations such as process serving, court filings and document management, and developed and delivered training on Service Law and International Humanitarian Law to officers and staff. I seek roles where I can apply my technical legal skills, stakeholder coordination strengths and commitment to procedural excellence.
