I support complex litigation and legal operations across government and private practice.

I've supported attorneys in complex civil litigation, labor and employment defense, public records, and regulatory compliance across Louisiana government and private practice.

At Phelps Dunbar LLP, I manage electronic case files, prepare court filings through PACER/CM-ECF and other portals, and coordinate matter intake, billing, scheduling, and client support. Previously, with the Louisiana Division of Administration, I supported litigation from research and discovery through trial preparation and served as the Office of General Counsel's Records Management Officer.

My work also includes executive support, statewide healthcare initiatives, legislative communications, and large-scale conference operations for the Louisiana Health Care Commission and Louisiana Department of Insurance.
