What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my paralegal, intellectual property, documentation systems, and quality-compliance experience to improve workflows, support regulated operations, and deliver accurate, audit-ready results.

At Thor Industries, I managed domestic and international trademark, copyright, and patent portfolios while supporting corporate, M&A, regulatory, litigation, and commercial matters. I prepared U.S. trademark and copyright filings, managed invention disclosures and contracts, conducted clearance searches, and supported IP enforcement.

At Ascensia Diabetes Care and Bayer HealthCare, I led documentation-system work for global quality teams, including Documentum and IBM SCORE. I authored requirements, training guidance, global procedures, reports, and metrics that supported FDA-compliant document management and streamlined periodic reviews.

Earlier, I supported FDA promotional-labeling compliance at Schwarz Pharma and managed PTO filings, client correspondence, billing, and dockets at Oliff & Berridge. I’m known for improving workflows, maintaining audit readiness, and building effective relationships across internal, external, and global teams.
