What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote, US-time-zone-compatible role where I can strengthen regulatory compliance and litigation support, coordinate legal processes, and improve workflows using Agile. I want cross-functional ownership and clear deadlines-driven deliverables.

I’m a bilingual (Spanish/English C1+) legal professional with hands-on experience as a Law Clerk at a US-based firm (Rausch Sturm), where I audited legal workflows for 100% adherence to U.S. federal and state regulations. I also supported high-volume litigation by reviewing contested mail, higher court notices, opposing counsel filings, and pro se responses, while mitigating procedural risks to protect court deadlines.

Over the last 4+ years at TELUS Digital, I coordinated corporate legal operations and led cross-functional, multidisciplinary teams executing internal software and operational projects across two countries. I manage bilingual legal documentation and evidence review in remote environments, and I bring Agile/Scrum leadership through my Scrum.org certifications (PSM I, PSPO I) alongside my LL.B. candidacy (expected 2026).
