My Why

What powers my practice

Discovering the power of persuasive legal writing and seeing a friend navigate the immigration system with the help of attorneys opened my eyes to a meaningful area of law. Practicing immigration law is fulfilling because of its dynamic nature, and nothing compares to the moment a challenging visa is approved. One of the firm’s greatest strengths is its collaborative culture, where I’m fortunate to work with exceptionally smart colleagues to tackle complex challenges with strategic, thoughtful solutions. I want clients to know I’m deeply committed to helping them find the best options—because immigration decisions are not only legally complex, but personally life-changing.
