What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration, offers growth opportunities, and allows me to leverage my legal expertise.

I am a strategic legal professional with extensive experience in drafting and negotiating commercial contracts across various industries, including finance, construction, healthcare, and technology. My role as a Contracts Administrator at Murphy Company has allowed me to serve as the sole support to the General Counsel, managing licensing obligations across 43 states. I have successfully assisted in reviewing client agreements and drafting amendments, ensuring compliance with unique state requirements.

Previously, as a Senior Manager at Express Scripts, I led a team of contract specialists, overseeing the entire client contracting process for a Fortune 20 company. My focus on quality improvement initiatives and client satisfaction has driven efficiencies in contract negotiations. I am passionate about mentoring new team members and enhancing internal processes to support cross-functional collaboration.

With a solid foundation in corporate law and compliance, I have supported merger and acquisition transactions and managed ongoing securities filing compliance. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my achievements, including the President’s Award of Excellence at Ansira and completion of the Senior Manager Development series at Express Scripts.
