PERSONAL BACKGROUND

My parents immigrated to the United States in the 1970s to pursue what most people coming to the United States want: The American Dream. My father is a physician, my mother a biochemist, and I witnessed firsthand how, through their hard work and perseverance, they became lawful permanent residents and, ultimately, proud citizens of the United States.

Immigration, as a result, has been at the forefront of my consciousness since my childhood. Therefore, it is my mission to assist those who, like my family, want to come, either temporarily or permanently, to the United States and create a life of happiness, prosperity, and possibility for themselves. It is an honor and privilege to be an advocate for those people, and I am grateful that I can rise each day and provide this service.
