Message

At Dentons US LLP, I support the Partner and Global Chair of the Corporate Practice with sophisticated transactional workflows and high-priority corporate matters. I coordinate deadlines, approvals, meetings, and executive communications across multiple offices and stakeholders.

At KESSLER INSTITUTE FOR REHABILITATION, I partnered with the CEO on executive operations for a multi-campus rehabilitation hospital. I redesigned patient satisfaction survey workflows, increasing discharge satisfaction scores from the 30 to the 92 percentile.

At PSEG SERVICES CORPORATION, I supported Corporate Legal, the Corporate Secretary’s Office, and Board of Directors governance operations. My work included maintaining board materials and regulatory filings, as well as coordinating legal documentation and outside counsel billing.

Earlier, at MANATT, PHELPS & PHILLIPS LLP and SCHULTE ROTH & ZABEL, LLP, I supported legal practice operations, from client and matter intake to document quality control. I’m a Certified Spanish Medical Interpreter and a NJ Notary Public, and I’m completing an Associate of Science in Psychology.
