What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a Legal Operations, Corporate Legal Assistant, or Executive Legal Support role where I can apply my legal and administrative experience.

At SANTOS KHOURY LLC, I coordinate immigration case preparation, documentation, deadlines, and administrative follow-ups for a U.S.-based law firm. I draft and organize legal correspondence and applications, conduct legal research, and prepare summaries for attorney review.

I also communicate with clients in English and Spanish, maintain confidential records, and track case developments using legal management tools. Earlier, I supported judicial proceedings at the National Judicial Disciplinary Commission- Tolima Section and provided legal assistance in roles focused on domestic violence and victims of the armed conflict.
