When I accepted a position at USILC, I was exposed to new methods and processes that have been invaluable to my journey toward becoming an immigration attorney. During my search for a new opportunity, I compared many firms and was most impressed with USILC, largely due to their outstanding reviews. USILC is composed of professionals who are highly capable in their roles. 

As a Legal Assistant, I primarily handle documentation for the General Department within the firm’s Legal Department. I follow up with clients in both English and Spanish to obtain necessary information, compile packets for various processes, and submit them to the appropriate immigration service centers on our clients’ behalf. USILC has also established successful processes that we can employ to help provide clients with individualized services.

Before joining USILC, I was an immigration case manager/legal assistant for over a year. I also functioned as a paralegal, preparing numerous family petitions, adjustment packages, and citizenship applications. Although it was challenging, this role introduced me to many processes and provided me with valuable knowledge and a solid background in immigration law. 

I maintain a strong work-life balance through music and outdoor activities. I write and play blues and rock music, and I enjoy the creative process of building a song from an initial idea using my understanding of chords and theory. I also love spending time outdoors, especially fishing from my kayak. On land, I like to unwind by baking desserts like a New York cheesecake and sharing them with friends and family.
