@noemirodriguez
Experienced immigration program manager and bilingual paralegal focused on compliance.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced immigration program manager and paralegal with over nine years supporting immigration casework, consular processing, and clinic operations. I bring strong organizational skills, grant compliance experience, and a proven ability to manage teams and complex case workflows.
In my current role at the USC Immigration Clinic I plan, organize, and execute project activities, supervise student workers and volunteers, and serve as the main administrative liaison for multiple funders, ensuring data capture, reporting, and invoicing comply with grant terms. Previously I supervised paralegal teams, handled payroll, audited productivity, and managed client relationships in high-volume immigration practices.
I am bilingual in English and Spanish, proficient with multiple case management and office platforms (Infusionsoft/Camplegal/Clio/Airtable/Docketwise/Bluedot/Immigrant Pro/QuickBooks/Cerenade/Word/Excel/PowerPoint/Adobe Pro/Email), and I thrive in roles that require attention to detail, clear communication, and a commitment to client-centered service.
