There's no doubt about it - being a lawyer is hard work. Let me make it easier and take some of the tasks off your plate. I am a recent law graduate who has passed the DC bar exam and am awaiting formal admission to the bar. I'm experienced in legal research and writing, and have a knack for condensing difficult and complex material into an understandable, digestible format! I'm here for those times when you really wish you had an extra person around to provide background research for a big case or to help whip up a memo or section of a brief. I have full access to Westlaw, LexisNexis, and Bloomberg to conduct research without costing you an extra dime. With experience on the Federal Circuit Bar Journal in law school, I know the Bluebook like the back of my hand and can quickly cite check and substantiate legal briefs or articles.

I am a barred attorney (California; active status) currently engaging in compliance with federal statutes mandating judges and court officials to make financial and ethical disclosures of various types and frequencies. I track contract compliance, deadline management, document management and engaging with clients for permission to file reports. In addition to my role as an attorney, I am engaged heavily in end-to-end process documentation (as well as improvement). I have over six years of experience working for the Department of Defense (DoD) as a mechanical engineer working on Satellite Communications and Networking. During that time, I engaged heavily in contracting, project management, and technical writing. I performed all cradle to grave activities with respect to federal contracting, and was the Source Selection Chair evaluating award of a $97M service contract. I have directed seven projects valued cumulatively at $45M, while leading a team of government Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and contractors. I provided technical direction, performance accountability, and maintained the schedules for each project while tracking our financial expenditures and complying with all federal, DoD, and Department of Navy statutes, regulations, and guidelines. I was the resource manager for three contracts valued between $100M-$150M. I authored a wide variety of documents including: contracts and required supporting contractual documentation, technical guides and training manuals, as well as business maturity models and process plans. Leveraging my legal background and DoD experience, I directed the corporate formalities in starting up the small business. As the COO, I scaled the experience I gained running million dollar projects to manage our daily operations so they were within compliance of all required regulations and statutes, as well as postured in the best manner for optimized management at any size.
