I manage high-volume workflows, forecasting, and cross-functional delivery across complex operations.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Park IP, I forecast, schedule, and track a portfolio of 1,200+ active intellectual property work items across 15 jurisdictions. I prioritize routine deadlines, urgent matters, and process improvements while coordinating with outside counsel, internal teams, and stakeholders.
Previously at Northern Trust, I supported financial systems, reporting, and operations through SQL and Excel analysis, month-end close activities, cash flow analysis, and cross-functional process improvements. I delivered a zero-escalation migration from a 25-year legacy financial system to a modern data platform, improving data integrity and reporting capability.
I bring process discipline to high-volume, multi-priority work, using clear documentation, KPI structures, forecasting, and AI tools to improve turnaround time, governance, and execution quality.
