@lauracowlishaw

I coordinate complex records, contracts, compliance, and client operations.

I've coordinated aircraft repair lifecycles and commercial transactions at StandardAero, serving as the liaison between engineering, sales, materials teams, and high-value clients. I maintained regulatory records including FAA Form 8130-3, EASA, and CAAC documentation while supporting contracts and supply-chain reporting.

My legal operations background includes construction litigation support at Sanderford & Carroll, where I managed more than 200 active legal records, prepared eFilings, researched legal issues, drafted instruments, and reviewed discovery under tight deadlines.

Currently, I support Griffin Memorial Elementary School's front-office operations, student records, enrollment processes, building security, and FERPA-compliant file management. I've also managed high-value auction assets, provenance research, acquisitions, and regulatory compliance at Vogt Auction Galleries.
