About

I'm a professional with 2+ year of team leadership experience and 3+ years in quality control and operations management, all in remote, bilingual environments. Most recently, I led a team of 40 Declaration Editors at a U.S. immigration law firm, where I reduced a backlog of 1,300+ cases by 75% in 5 months, improved quality standards by 90%, and managed pipelines of 150+ cases daily. I'm detail-obsessed, process-driven, and I genuinely enjoy finding the root cause of inefficiencies , then fixing them for good. My background in Architecture sharpened my analytical thinking and gave me a natural instinct for systems and structure. Currently open to remote opportunities in operations management, and process improvement with U.S.-based or international companies. Feel free to reach out!
