Working with clients and constituents to navigate the legal landscape and overcome obstacles is the greatest and highest purpose of my career. Advancing the interests and needs of others drives me in my pursuit of opportunities in legal advocacy.Throughout all my life stages, I adapted to new working environments, engaged in continuously learning and collaborated with a wide range of people.Known for my compassionate, empathetic approach, I build bridges between disparate constituencies. I find points of commonality and leverage those to rally seemingly opposing sides around a goal or objective that every stakeholder can embrace.As a disciplined lawyer with valuable life experience and professional maturity, I bring a unique ability to see multiple sides of one issue and provide a viewpoint that is unbiased and not influenced by my personal opinions and emotions.My passion for politics and current events has kept me up to date on the landscape of immigrant, education and voting rights during my extended absence from the paid workforce. During this period, I continued to grow and develop professionally through volunteer and civic board leadership.
