Work Background
Out-Law Ops, LLCOutsourced Legal Operations for law firms and in-house legal departments
Jun. 2021Colorado, United StatesI've always been that go-to person that that everyone wants to know, but nobody wants to be. If anyone ever wanted to get something done - they come to me, be they the CEO, a file clerk, associate, or vendor. I am the creative one, the one who will get things done quickly, efficiently, painlessly, and well. I am a whiz with spreadsheets, I get along with everyone, and I am organized and responsive. I anticipate peoples’ needs before they even know what they need, and I do it all with insane attention to detail and a smile on my face. I thrive in a fast-paced work environment, working with as many different personalities as I can. You might say I collect people - I love getting to know everyone around me, and then helping match personalities with projects, roles, and positions that make their hearts sing. I'm amazing with all of the Office products - Word, Excel, Powerpoint; well-versed in Google Workspace (fka G Suite Business), and a very fast learner. I ran a virtual office for years before it was cool. I've done billing for lawyers for decades. Once I even ran payroll from the tippy top of the Swiss Alps! I've worked in all sorts of software and cloud programs, and I don't shy away from the minutiae. Let's talk - I would love to be given the chance to help you develop, implement, and polish processes and practices to increase daily productivity, and refine workflows - with people, technology and training - to increase the quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of your team.

Jan. 2014 - Jun. 2021Denver, Colorado, United StatesBlue Dot Advocates is a group of unbelievably bright, mostly ex-big-law folks with a shared commitment to social justice, worldwide sustainable development, and incorporating social responsibility into its bottom line. As its Coordinator in Chief, my job was to facilitate their continued focus on impact investing and social enterprises, working with clients and attorneys across the globe. • I provided executive-level team support for this cloud-based, complex corporate law practice. • I performed essentially all of their CFO duties for this unique office, which we structured as an employee-owned cooperative supporting international legal services.
• I established and administered systems for this group of open-minded, lawyer-entrepreneurs, and kept all operations running smoothly.
• I made a point to stay apprised of global sustainable and responsible investing industry updates, for marketing purposes.
• I oversaw all of the firm's human capital services, including hiring, onboarding, training, establishing efficient communication platforms, and creating fun, morale-boosting activities for a world-wide organization. Blue Dot's practice itself, includes structuring for-profit and non-profit companies, fund formation, private equity and securities, assisting with operations, implementing impact capital transactions, and advising various institutions and investors committed to investing in such companies. They are particularly interested in supporting ventures that target issues related to extreme poverty, renewable energy and sustainable development, and they help clients facilitate the flow of investment capital to financially scalable social enterprises. I'm gonna really miss working at this extra cool law firm that is providing 'legal solutions for a small planet.' Check them out at www.bluedotlaw.com.
