What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute my patent prosecution, docket management, document preparation, and client-support experience in a role focused on timely filings, organized portfolio operations, and collaboration with attorneys, clients, and international associates.

At Harness IP, I support a Principal Attorney through every stage of U.S. patent prosecution, preparing, formatting, and filing patent documents while managing a comprehensive docket.

I coordinate closely with attorneys, patent agents, clients, inventors, and international associates to keep applications moving and submissions on time. I also maintain IP docketing systems, case files, invoices, filing fees, and vendor communications, with familiarity in PCT and international filing procedures.

Previously, I provided remote executive administration for MJB Enterprises, managing CEO scheduling, client communications, travel planning, calendars, reports, and digital systems.

As the founder of Xgermintors Cleaning, Inc., I built and managed commercial and residential operations, including policies, staff onboarding, training, schedules, payroll, budgets, and financial reporting.
