I relish the opportunity to assist our clients with their immigration processes. As an immigrant myself, I am acutely aware of the complicated procedures and overwhelming challenges many clients face in acquiring legal status. I take pride in my role as an intermediary, helping to facilitate these processes on their behalf. The most fulfilling part of my work is sharing good news about their case outcomes. Additionally, I am honored to be part of a supportive team that shares knowledge and collaborates to provide our clients with optimal service.

I have worked in the immigration field for seven years, and during that time I have gained insight into a broad range of processes. My aim is to grow professionally and assume new challenges that will propel me forward. I am employed in the firm’s Legal Department, where I communicate with clients in English and Spanish to respond to their concerns and help them understand the timeframes and requirements for their cases. I ensure that their documents and information are accurate and organized, review any issues related to their cases, and liaise with attorneys concerning these issues. My background in immigration has equipped me to provide input in determining how we can best approach the more challenging cases to achieve a favorable outcome. Whenever clients are feeling anxious or overwhelmed, I have learned that an ideal strategy for imbuing them with a sense of peace is to ensure they have a clear understanding of their case statuses and our goals.

Running and writing are activities that help me focus my often-busy mind and give me a sense of peace. I also believe in testing my own ability to accomplish difficult goals, and so I am currently training for a half marathon. As a creative outlet, I turn to journaling or writing poetry and nonfiction. One unique fact about my background is that my brother and I hold a special place within our family. We are known as “Irish twins” since we were born only ten months apart.
