What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a Legal Operations and Compliance Associate role where I can apply my experience in intellectual property support, compliance, legal intake, contract review, SOPs, knowledge bases, billing alignment, and workflow automation.

I've led business and legal operations at iOpti Solutions, creating regulation-based procedural guides and SOPs across film, event production, legal, nonprofit, and education clients.

I implement and improve LEAP practice management software, manage recruitment and onboarding, and oversee teams of 10–15 employees while coordinating clients, vendors, and government stakeholders within budget constraints.

At Cruise, I triaged legal helpdesk tickets, built training materials and a centralized knowledge base for more than 2,000 employees, and aligned outside-counsel billing with company guidelines. The legal department was recognized as a finalist for Law.com's “Most Innovative Emerging Company Legal Department of the Year.”

I've also reviewed and negotiated vendor contracts at Essence Global, supported contract-management implementation, maintained trademark portfolios at Pillsbury, and built legal intake, billing, docketing, and workflow systems across law-firm environments.
