United States

About

I am a licensed attorney with a background spanning public relations, global consulting, and legal technology. I focus on bridging law, business, and technology to translate complex legal and regulatory challenges into scalable, business-ready solutions. I began my career in public relations, where I managed high-profile clients, led crisis communications, and owned client relationships. I later transitioned into global consulting, where I automated workflows, implemented GDPR-compliant processes, and partnered cross-functionally to support international growth initiatives. Recognized as a 2022 CLOC Scholar for workflow automation and operational excellence, I have since worked in legal technology roles focused on enabling adoption, improving processes, and supporting teams operating in highly regulated environments. My experience includes building AI-enabled workflows, supporting go-to-market initiatives, and collaborating with product, legal, security, and marketing stakeholders. CIPP-US certified, I bring a blend of legal training, operational discipline, and technology fluency to help organizations manage risk, improve efficiency, and scale with confidence.
