What inspired you to become involved in the field of immigration?
I began my immigration career working with immigrant survivors of human trafficking. The courage of my clients has always been an inspiration to me. I have had the great fortune to study and work in other countries, and I cherish each international interaction I have had with clients.

I enjoy learning about each student's background to tailor the course to the student's strengths and needs.

Increasing our understanding and engagement with AI is key to running an effective and ethical law practice, and we need to infuse these skills into our courses.
