(Arizona) Associate Director + Senior Counsel, Legal Ops+ @ Ford Motor Company

"With over 15 years of experience in the legal, operations, and technology spaces, I have been fortunate to work across a variety of entities with varying levels of maturity: startups, medium and large corporations, and law firms. This maturity spectrum has required expertise in both ground-up people, process, and technology analysis and development as well as innovation and optimization in already existing functions.

In both my professional and personal life, I am a big advocate of health and wellness. Outside of work, I spend most of my time adventuring with my husband, Chris, and son, Dexter, learning and implementing personal growth, and traveling.
