As a former U.S. Department of State Consular Officer and the founder of BorderCall LLC, I specialize in navigating the maze of U.S. immigration law. My practice focuses on business immigration for technology companies and manufacturers, visa interviews, and tackling difficult consular processing challenges— i.e. "weird consular stuff."With 14 years of experience in immigration law - as a consular officer and in private practice, I've seen a lot and use my background to my clients' advantage. Whether it's helping companies bring their best talent to the United States to drive growth or finding strategic solutions to tricky visa denials, I'm deeply committed to understanding the individual needs of my clients and creating solutions for them to accomplish their goals.I've spoken at many American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) chapter conferences, including the Rome/EMEA, Latin America and Caribbean, and Oregon Chapters. I was also recently part of a panel that pre-recorded a presentation for new immigration lawyers as part of the AILA National Conference in Chicago in the summer of 2024. I've shared my insights on consular processing issues, diplomatic visas, visa ineligibility waivers, and a variety of other topics.In addition to my practice, I have the privilege of serving on the American Immigration Lawyer's Association (AILA) National New Member Division Steering Committee for 2024-25. Staying up to date with policy changes is crucial, and I'm passionate about offering clients the most current and strategic advice.I strive for a personalized approach and like to develop relationships with all my clients. I value personalized interaction while incorporating new technology into my practice to make processes more efficient. I believe my practice is both highly personalized and a good value.When I'm not advocating for clients, you can find me being a volleyball dad, spending time with my family, or enjoying the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest in all weather and seasons. I'm always interested in connecting with like-minded professionals, so feel free to reach out!
