Senior Litigation and Transactional Paralegal | Discovery Specialist | Complex Case Management
I am a bilingual senior paralegal with close to 10 years of experience supporting attorneys and small firms in state and federal matters. I focus on bringing structure, clarity, and operational stability to complex, document-intensive litigation and transactional work.
My background includes commercial disputes, employment litigation, matrimonial and family law, landlord-tenant matters, criminal defense, trusts and estates, general civil litigation, and business transactions. I regularly assist with drafting pleadings, motions, affidavits, discovery demands and responses, and transactional documents.
I specialize in analytical discovery and complex document management. Beyond standard review, I identify key facts, build clear chronologies, structure defensible production sets, and design organized case systems that help attorneys see the narrative within large record collections.
My strength is precision and structure. I create clean exhibit files, manage PII redactions in compliance with court rules, and maintain strong procedural awareness under the CPLR and applicable filing systems, including NYSCEF and PACER. I have supported matters across multiple jurisdictions and adjust quickly to varying procedural frameworks.
Fluent in English and Spanish, I provide steady, analytical support in both litigation and transactional environments.
Available for complex litigation support, analytical discovery review, motion drafting, transactional assistance, and legal operations consulting.

With over 20 years experience researching and writing legal documents and correspondence, I have developed meticulous skills in constructing well researched and vetted material for various sources. Whereas the very precise and persuasive nature of legal writing has helped me to fine tune my writing skills with a level of maturity and professionalism, my consistent enthusiasm for learning keeps my content both fresh and exciting.
Having recently spent the last few years creating product descriptions for online retailers, I have further developed a more creative spin to my writing. Now, I'm looking to find new and exciting ways to offer my skills and experience by providing my clients with well researched and carefully crafted content to suit any need. From legal research and document drafting to historical essays, creative content and political analysis, I can cover it all. I look forward to working with you soon.

I help businesses, entrepreneurs, startups, and foreign-owned LLCs reduce taxes legally, stay IRS compliant, and maintain accurate financial records. Since 2018, I've specialized in Business Tax Preparation, Corporate Tax Returns (Forms 1120, 1120-S, 1065, 1040 & 1040-NR), Form 5472 compliance, QuickBooks Online bookkeeping, Tax Planning, IRS Resolution, Financial Reporting, and IRS Compliance .
One recent client came to me with two years of incomplete bookkeeping and potential IRS penalties. After completing a full QuickBooks Online cleanup, identifying missed business deductions, and preparing accurate tax filings, I reduced their tax liability by $18,500 while bringing their business into full IRS compliance.
As both a tax professional and business owner, I use the same tax strategies, bookkeeping systems, and financial controls in my own companies that I recommend to my clients. My goal is to help businesses remain compliant, reduce tax liabilities, improve cash flow, and make informed financial decisions with confidence.

Make your marketing fun again.
With AI and social media, competition is fierce (and crappy) all at once. Over-consumption has consumed us, and we think virality is the only measure of success. Authentic storytelling matters now more than ever - the kind that appeals to raw human emotion (created by humans) to actually drive sales.
I graduated valedictorian with a degree in Journalism & Psychology and a minor in Marketing - so I understand both how the market works and the psychology behind why people buy.
I've created content for major journalists like Megyn Kelly and Mark Halperin, luxury hospitality brands like Atelier Gioia, and partnered with names like Travel + Leisure - generating over 2 million views across socials. I've also worked directly with LinkedIn's former #1 spokesperson to grow her personal brand.
I'm a flight attendant by trade, which means I've spent the last several years traveling the world and learning the hospitality industry by living in it - producing UGC content before UGC was a buzzword.
What I do:
Social media management for hospitality, travel, food, and lifestyle brands
UGC creation for all brands (beauty, fashion, travel, etc. including reels, photography, on-property shoots)
Brand voice, content strategy, and positioning
Editorial writing, long-form storytelling, and thought leadership
Press releases, media kits, and launch campaigns
Why clients hire me:
✔ Journalism foundation + creator instincts + marketing strategy
✔ I've lived the industry I'm marketing
✔ Storytelling that's built to convert, not just go viral
✔ Fast, sharp, easy to work with
Check out my media kit for examples! I'll love to be in touch and curate a personality for your brand that feels authentic.
