I am a proud first generation college student and a first generation American-born citizen. My parents immigrated to the U.S early in their lives, and I empathize with the immigrant community. I have seen first hand what the implications of being the U.S. without unlawful status or permanent residency, so I understand the emotional lives that immigrants often live. I strive to give back to the largely Latino community that I come from, whether that be in criminal defense or immigration settings. I attended Williams College for undergrad, which is among the best liberal arts schools in the nation. I continued my education at University of La Varne College of Law, where I excelled and graduated as valedictorian. I have a strong background in legal writing and editing, as I was Editor-in-Chief of the La Verne Law Review. When advocating for my clients, I keep their interests and needs at the forefront of my mind. I offer a judgment-free and professional relationship with every client, regardless of their criminal accusation or immigration background.
