I admire US-ILC’s organizational processes. Our firm has implemented advanced technologies to support us in performing our functions more efficiently. My teammates are highly intelligent individuals who bring expertise to their work. They have inspired me to be confident about my professional capabilities and I feel trusted to manage my responsibilities without constant supervision. I also appreciate how US-ILC embraces social media. I had followed Saman Movassaghi Gonzalez on social media platforms for years, which inspired me to join the firm.

As an immigrant from Uruguay who has been in the United States since childhood, the immigration field has always appealed to me. After preparing my husband’s permanent resident application and successfully securing his Green Card, I knew I could use my skills to assist others. It saddens me that immigrants are often portrayed negatively, especially those who cross the border seeking safety and security. I believe it is our job to guide them in legalizing their status. I am happy to be with a firm that shares my values and is constantly growing. I envision planting my roots here and look forward to taking on increasingly challenging roles, such as using my writing proficiencies to prepare legal briefs.

My position as a Paralegal in the firm’s Legal Department enables me to continually expand my knowledge and enhance my case management skills. We work together as a team, with multiple members involved in each case. I perform case reviews and oversee my responsibilities with a focus on ensuring that our clients are informed about their cases. I communicate with them in both English and Spanish. Although I had acquired extensive paralegal experience before joining US-ILC, my teammates have supported me in familiarizing myself with the firm’s various processes. I collaborate with them daily to ensure that all clients receive the level of case support they deserve.

Work-life balance is essential to me. I am a mother of two, which is both rewarding and chaotic. I enjoy spending time with my children, who are a bundle of energy. When I fish with my son or watch my daughter play soccer, I feel bonded to my children. As a means of personal care, I find pleasure in running as it helps me disconnect and feel centered. I was raised in a home where food was a love language, and family gatherings are vital to me. I enjoy baking bread and creating meals such as couscous from scratch. As a health-conscious mother, I prepare nutritious food for my children so they will learn to take care of their own health.
