Operations and research professional with experience spanning intellectual property research, DMCA enforcement, data operations, and business support.
About
Turning research, data, and operations into organized action.
My career began in operations — processing loan documentation, verifying records, and generating reports for client decision-making. That grounding in detail and process carried directly into intellectual property research, where the work shifted toward identifying infringement across online platforms and maintaining accurate, defensible records for clients around the world.
From there, the focus sharpened further into advanced investigation and enforcement: locating high-value infringement targets, drafting DMCA takedown notices, and coordinating with platforms and internal stakeholders to track brand-enforcement outcomes. Today, that same research and process discipline supports data operations and sales — keeping information accurate, organized, and useful for the people who depend on it.

Each role has built on the last — starting with structured operational work, moving into research and investigation, and now applying that same discipline to enforcement and data accuracy. The throughline is consistent: understand the details, keep the records straight, and improve the process along the way.
