What I'm looking for
I’m a law graduate with experience in legal support, administrative work, business operations, and social media. My background has allowed me to develop strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills, as well as the ability to manage different responsibilities and work independently.
I started my professional experience in legal support, assisting with debt recovery cases, preparing legal documents, following up on court procedures, and supporting clients and attorneys. I later worked in administration and HR, where I handled day-to-day administrative tasks and supported internal operations.
I also have hands-on experience in business management. I co-founded and managed a coworking business where I was responsible for daily operations, client communication, scheduling, and social media. I currently run my own dress rental business, managing everything from customer service and reservations to inventory, marketing, social media, and day-to-day operations.
I’m looking for a remote opportunity where I can use this combination of skills, continue learning, and grow with a company. I’m fluent in Spanish and have a strong working level of English.
