Ms. Delgado brings substantial hands-on experience in transactional drafting, document review, compliance, and risk assessment. As Transactional Legal Counsel Extern at Southwest Airlines, she drafted commercial vendor contracts, aircraft leasing agreements, and closing documents; reviewed NTSB reports and airport operations; and developed internal guidelines on sustainability and data privacy—work that directly supports her thesis, When Profit Meets Planet: Funding the Future of Sustainable Aviation. Additional experience includes serving as Commercial Real Estate Summer Associate at Winstead PC (drafting notices of default, demand letters, and reviewing loan and LLC agreements), Legal Counsel Intern at American First Finance and ABC Fitness Solutions (compliance research, NDAs, global collections, and AI risk presentations), and Project Accountant at Robins & Morton (financial risk mitigation for hospital construction projects).
