I am the daughter of an immigrant and I am passionate about keeping families together.
I will support your process by creating a strong document that portrays your story in a detailed and professional way.
I speak Spanish, English, and Portuguese, and I understand the intersectionality of cultures in a unique way because of my own experiences. I am happy to work with an interpreter if you prefer a language that is not listed.
Let's work together to support your immigration case.
