Lola W.
Multi-State Regulatory Compliance | Senior Operations Support
I specialize in multi-state regulatory compliance. Recent and current work spans nonprofit charitable solicitation registration across 50 states, pharmacy licensing and Board of Pharmacy compliance, and multi-state tax closures across six jurisdictions. The work involves researching state-specific requirements, completing and submitting filings, tracking deadlines, contacting state agencies directly, and maintaining detailed compliance trackers across every jurisdiction. Before freelancing, I spent 26 years in Kentucky state government regulatory administration. I supervised compliance operations for 9,000+ registered facilities, managed $290K in annual invoicing, coordinated ARRA federal grant projects, oversaw EPA reporting requirements, and served as HR liaison managing HIPAA-protected records for 15 years. I also serve as a right-hand operations partner for a consulting firm, handling research, budgeting, vendor coordination, candidate screening, and whatever needs doing across multiple client engagements. I work independently, communicate proactively, and deliver organized results without being told what to do next. Proficient in Microsoft 365 including SharePoint, Google Workspace, LexisNexis, Notion, Airtable, and Toggl. I'm a U.S. citizen based in Portugal, available Eastern through Mountain time zones with flexible overlap for UK and European clients. I am a compliance specialist, not an attorney, and I do not provide legal advice. My work is research, filing preparation and submission, deadline tracking, and agency coordination. Where a question requires a legal opinion, I document it and route it to your counsel. Work samples and publications from my government career appear under my former married name, Lola Lyle. M.P.A., University of Kentucky. B.S. Natural Resource Conservation and Management, University of Kentucky. Certificate in Environmental Systems.
