What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an estate-planning–focused role where I can serve as a calm, discreet point of contact, manage documentation and correspondence with precision, and help families get their affairs in order with empathy and strict confidentiality.

I’m a detail-oriented professional drawn to estate planning work—helping families put their affairs in order at moments that matter most. I bring a decade of precise, deadline-driven writing and editing, paired with 10+ years managing sensitive, confidential matters with discretion.

As a Freelance Editor on Upwork, I completed 70+ freelance editing and writing projects with a 5.0 rating and $40,000+ in cumulative earnings. I built my reputation on accuracy, clarity, and consistently meeting deadlines across long-term contract engagements.

In 2024, I founded and developed Friends of Aquinas LLC, where I independently handle business documentation, vendor agreements, correspondence, and financial record-keeping with full responsibility for accuracy and follow-through. I also serve as an informal executive support partner for a university department’s Associate Director, managing confidential communications and scheduling with autonomy.

Beyond professional roles, I’ve spent 12+ years as a certified instructor guiding couples through deeply personal family decisions with strict confidentiality. I’ve also volunteered with the New Americans Program, supporting refugee families as a trusted first point of contact during high-stress transitions.
