About Lola
I help companies manage compliance filings, regulatory documentation, and operational processes across multiple jurisdictions. My background is 26 years in U.S. state government — environmental regulatory compliance, federal grant administration, legislative research, and multi-agency coordination. I now apply those same systems to private-sector clients in the U.S. and EU.
What I do for clients: multi-state business registrations and closures, tax compliance coordination, audit preparation, document management systems, process documentation, recruiting coordination, and executive operations support. I work across time zones from Portugal and communicate in English.
I hold an MPA and a B.S. in Natural Resource Management from the University of Kentucky. I am a commissioned Kentucky Notary Public with Remote Online Notarization capability.
