Why did you decide to become and Immigration Attorney?
As a daughter of immigrants, immigration and naturalization issues have always been an important part of my story. Immigration plays an equally important role in our American story, a country built on the ingenuity and grit of its immigrants. It has been a pleasure and an honor to help people navigate the U.S. immigration system and assist them in fulfilling their American Dream.
