Francis Bacon once said “Knowledge is Power”.

I’m an individual with a desire to make a change in this world. I would like to become an informed woman who can empower and bring awareness to politics, immigration, and education.

I’m currently a Legal Assistant at Bull & Davies PC and we specialize in Immigration and Criminal cases. The immigration departments we work on are Consular, AOS, U Visa, and Asylum. For Criminal cases we defend Misdemeanors and Felonies. I’m currently a part-time student at Aims Community College pursuing a degree in Communication Media.

I graduated from DSST GVR in 2019 and took about 5 years off to go straight into the work field. DSST supported and prepared me for the real world in ways I would have never imagined. I will advocate for education and charter schools because they opened opportunities to students like me who came from parents with immigrant backgrounds who never received a proper education. DSST gave me mental health support and taught me the core values I still live by today.
