Having supported legal and product teams at Mistplay, OMERS, Torys LLP and Oyster HR, I’ve honed my skills in optimizing workflows, managing legal technologies like Asana, Jira, Legal Tracker, iManage, Avvoka, IronClad, Concord and implementing privacy tools likeOneTrust. My expertise spans across contract management, data analysis, and financial reporting, while also leading operational projects that improve efficiency and streamline processes.
