What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level corporate, legal, or administrative role where I can support operations through documentation, scheduling, records management, reporting, and clear stakeholder communication.

I've coordinated 50+ multi-department facility events at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Campus Recreation, managing scheduling, documentation, logistics, reporting, and policy compliance.

As an Event Manager, I maintained attendance records and post-event evaluations while supervising groups of 20–50+ staff through setup, operations, and teardown.

At Game Day USA Baseball & Softball, I managed registration, team check-in, bracket updates, and score reporting for 36+ regional tournaments. I also supported participant communications and social content across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and X.

My legal studies, court observation work, and research projects have strengthened my ability to handle confidential information, analyze details, and communicate clearly. I'm seeking an entry-level corporate, legal, or administrative role where I can contribute organized operational support.
