What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an Administrative-Executive Assistant, Customer Success, or Customer Care position where I can use my experience supporting executives and international clients.

At Trench, Rossi e Watanabe Advogados, I supported executives and clients with patent and industrial design processes from filing to grant. I coordinated schedules, deadlines, and billing, and translated technical documentation using Apol and iManage.

At Clarke Modet Intellectual Property Ltda, I oversaw client portfolios, monitored deadlines, and implemented automation improvements to streamline communications. I also coordinated meetings, documentation reviews, and payments.

Earlier, I supported intellectual property, administrative, financial, and client-service work at firms including Pinheiro Palmer Advogados and Montaury Pimenta, Machado e Vieira de Mello Advogados. My experience also includes international payments at Banco Bradesco S/A and executive support at Bureau Veritas Brazil.
