About

I am a motivated, skilled, and detail-oriented young professional currently working as a patent specialist at a boutique intellectual property law firm in downtown Pittsburgh. More specifically, I manage an extensive portfolio of incoming direct and national phase filings on behalf of our foreign clients. I also have experience handling international (PCT) patent applications as well as international design registrations filed under the Hague System. This includes docketing, processing, and reporting all USPTO/WIPO correspondence received related to filing formalities for these applications. I pride myself on my professional skills, such as time management, a strong attention to detail, and the ability to learn quickly.
