Since joining the team at US-ILC, I have felt a strong sense of belonging, and that I am in the right environment, working alongside team members who share a common mission. My desire to support immigrants drew me to this ever-changing field. I thrive on responsibility, respect, and empathy and I aim to build relationships with team members while practicing self-management. The most favorable aspect of my work is that I have the opportunity to familiarize myself with new laws and types of cases each day. Business immigration is a demanding area of immigration law, since most clients come to us already knowing what they need and expecting efficiency and professionalism. I relish this challenge and always rise to the occasion.

I was eager to accept a role at US-ILC due to my desire to secure a position at a successful firm with a top reputation in the field. I look forward to passing the bar in 2025 and continuing to work with the firm and progress as a professional. US-ILC promotes a high level of work ethics that is rarely seen in law firms. I am grateful to work in this type of environment that feeds our professional growth and facilitates our work processes.

Within the Legal Department, I oversee client relationship and serve as the point person between attorneys and clients or employers. I also manage cases and strive to ease the transition for employers and beneficiaries as they take the next step in their professional careers with our firmโ€™s assistance. Like many of my teammates at US-ILC, I can communicate with our clients in both English and Spanish.

I was raised in Mexico and arrived in the US as a teen. I now reside at the border between Mexico and the US. This experience has gifted me with the unique perspective of witnessing life before and after coming to the US. I am thankful for this experience as I can now bring it to the work I perform on behalf of other immigrants. During my years in Mexico, I played professional basketball. It was a substantial part of my life, and I plan to return to the sport for another season. Through this experience, I acquired scholarships and gained new friendships. I also learned how to be a team player, and how to strategically place other people behind and before you based on who has the clearest path to scoring a team goal. This is a skill that I have learned to apply in a professional capacity as well. My other interests are gym workouts, reading literature on self-motivation and finance, and studying with the goal of continually acquiring knowledge.
