What I'm looking for

I'm seeking remote operations, talent, or project support roles where I can lead cross-functional teams, streamline processes using data, and scale client-facing services. I value collaborative, growth-minded cultures with clear ownership and measurable impact.

I am an operations and people leader with over six years' experience streamlining processes, managing teams, and delivering projects across fast-paced, global environments. I currently direct company-wide operations—administration, HR, marketing, and customer service—to ensure consistent service delivery.

I have led end-to-end programs including a 150-person international school trip to Paris, opened a new operational site with systems and workflows, and launched new business lines to grow client engagement. In remote roles I served as a non-technical product owner and managed delivery for 15+ clients with a 95% retention rate, deploying tools like ClickUp and Clockify to boost productivity. I also redesigned recruitment and onboarding, cutting cost-per-hire by 30% and implementing group health benefits to improve retention.

With a legal background and experience advising on compliance and governance, I bring disciplined risk-awareness to operations and HR. I seek remote roles in operations, talent, or project support where I can drive efficiency and scalable service delivery.
