Biography: I was raised in California within a bilingual Mexican-American household, which instilled in me a profound appreciation for diverse cultures and languages. Recently, I relocated to Jacksonville, North Carolina, to be closer to my fiancé, who serves in the U.S. Marine Corps.
Throughout the past decade, I have dedicated my career to the education sector, where I have primarily worked as an ESL teacher and, more recently, as a Pre-Kindergarten teacher. I thoroughly enjoyed my role as a preschool educator for the last five years; however, I have long aspired to take on greater challenges and explore avenues through which I can leverage my background and experience to serve a broader community.
Immigration—an area of both personal and professional significance to me—has become my newfound passion. I am eager to assist individuals and families in navigating their immigration journeys, particularly J-1 teachers and their unique challenges. My goal is to alleviate the stress associated with immigration processes and to ensure that our clients feel supported throughout their long-term relationship with our law firm. I look forward to making a meaningful impact in the lives of those I assist.
