As Senior Legal Analyst and Podcast Executive at VillageMD, I manage the Legal Operations section of the Legal Department. I primarily oversee transactions, integrations, contract management, outside counsel management, training and podcast production.

Since it is a start-up, we all pitch in where needed, and it feels like there is something new every day. I have utilized my skills from the MSL program for 100% of my job. It was even helpful to have a fundamental knowledge of intellectual property!

I probably utilize: Contracts, Business Formation and Structure, Regulatory Strategy, and the Health Law courses the most within my current position.

Fun fact: I am on a quest to visit all of the US National Parks. I have already visited 17 parks, and I have plans to visit another 4 this year!
