About Me

Built on Results and Resilience.

I've always been the person who steps in when things are moving fast and someone needs both a plan and a willing pair of hands. That has looked like operations in an engineering firm, casework in a family-law practice, and instructional support in a K-12 classroom.

01

I use project management methods to turn engineering and construction goals into plans people can actually follow. I’ve seen jobs slip when the plan lives only in someone’s head, so I get it in front of the people who have to execute it. That means sitting with contracts, field constraints, safety, and deadlines until the next step is clear enough for the whole team.

02

In family law, I learned to turn high-volume, high-emotion cases into clear next steps for attorneys and clients. When people are overwhelmed, I focus on making the process faster, more consistent, and easier to follow. That meant building better templates, tightening discovery, and showing up prepared so no one had to scramble at the last minute.

03

In the classroom, I used the same habit with students: break the work down, stay with them, and rebuild confidence when they feel behind. That work led to leading early-morning tutoring before students enter middle school.

Employment Highlights

Experience That Travels.

Experience across operations, legal work, and K-12 classrooms--always focused on people, process, and getting the details right.

7 Years

Business Administrator

Geotechnical, inspections, and materials testing firm

I handled the operational side of a growing company: client contracts, vendors, benefits, audits, safety, and staff development. That included negotiating agreements, keeping retention strong, mentoring people toward certifications, and tightening the compliance and safety habits that protect both the team and the business.

3 Years

Firm Manager / Paralegal

Family-law Practice

Advanced from legal assistant to lead paralegal and firm operations in three years in a busy family-law practice. Managed a heavy caseload, built templates and discovery processes that saved time, supported attorneys in mediations and hearings, kept clients informed, and built relationships based on competence and trust.

2 Years

Paraprofessional

K-12 Classrooms

I provided instructional support for 2nd–5th grade special education students in language arts and math, helping them stay with the lesson and build confidence when the work felt overwhelming. Based on that classroom work, I was selected to lead early-morning math tutoring for 5th graders who were behind to get them ready for middle school. I loved working with the children and seeing them gain confidence.

Core Competencies

Skills that turn messy work into a clear plan.

Connecting the People Who Have to Make It Work

Work falls apart when people talk past each other. I keep the details moving between the people doing the work and the people responsible for the outcome.

Contracts and the Details That Protect the Business

I review and negotiate the agreements that keep U.S. and global work moving—client contracts, workers’ compensation, and benefits—so the company isn’t exposed on cost or terms.

Safety, Audits, and Staying Ready

I take pride in construction compliance: FDOT and insurance audits, nuclear gauge requirements, Environmental, Health and Safety documentation, and the habits that keep people safe and ratings strong.

Helping People Stay With the Work

I stay with people when the work feels like too much — students, clients, or staff — and turn overwhelm into a next step. That can mean breaking a lesson down, lining up a case, or giving a team a plan they can run without guessing.
