Experience

1. Associate General Counsel

   Medica

   Aug 2021 — Present · Minnetonka, MN, US

   I provide comprehensive legal counsel on labor and employment matters, advising the HR team and executive leadership on compliance and risk management. I manage litigation strategies, oversee outside counsel, and develop training programs to ensure adherence to evolving laws. I actively mitigate legal and compliance risks related to workforce planning and reductions in force. I also manage return-to-office policies, ensuring compliance and minimizing risk. During the pandemic, I created and implemented the COVID-19 vaccination policy, identified exemptions, and reduced the risk of legal action.
