Dynamic Commercial Contracts & Legal Operations Professional with more than 20 years of experience helping businesses, startups, solo attorneys, and small law firms draft, review, and manage commercial agreements with confidence.
I combine corporate-level contracts experience with modern AI-assisted contract review tools to deliver faster, more consistent drafting, redlining, and risk identification. Every agreement receives experienced human review to validate AI-generated suggestions, identify business and contractual risks, and provide practical recommendations.
Services include:
• Drafting commercial agreements, including NDAs, MSAs, Statements of Work, Independent Contractor Agreements, licensing agreements, vendor and supplier agreements, service agreements, and related business contracts
• Contract review, redlining, risk identification, and issue spotting
• AI-assisted contract review with experienced human quality control
• Contract templates, clause libraries, checklists, and document packages
• Contract administration and legal operations support
• Paralegal overflow support for solo attorneys and small law firms
• Ongoing contract support on a project or retainer basis
My background includes commercial contracts and legal operations roles with Biocom California, Fortis Advisors, The UPS Store, and organizations in manufacturing, collectibles licensing, and commercial litigation. Throughout my career, I have partnered with attorneys, executives, and business teams to draft, review, negotiate, and administer commercial agreements across the full contract lifecycle.
Clients value my practical, business-minded approach, attention to detail, responsiveness, and ability to deliver high-quality work while helping improve efficiency through proven contract processes and AI-enabled workflows.
Important Disclaimer
I am not a licensed attorney and do not provide legal advice or legal representation. My services are limited to contract drafting, document preparation, contract review, legal operations, and paralegal support. Clients should consult a licensed attorney for legal advice specific to their circumstances.

Note: I had a 100% Job Success Score and Top Rated badge. I have many 5 star reviews.
My current score dropped from a single client- I successfully completed the work, delivered excellent results, and was paid in full by Upwork. This client didn't want to pay and threatened to leave false negative feedback which he did. Upwork later determined the client violated its Terms of Service and took disciplinary action against him.
However, they declined to restore my Job Success Score despite me asking many times. Upwork's reason-they don't reinstate scores- even under unfair circumstances like mine.
I took time away from upwork due to their lack of support for the past few months. I've worked with wonderful clients here and decided to come back. I'm excited to help more businesses succeed.
