About
Bilingual Attorney (JD, Colombia) with over 18 years of experience in international contract law, having worked extensively in drafting, negotiating, and managing contracts across multiple jurisdictions. While my primary expertise is in contracts, I have had the opportunity to support a few immigration cases, including preparing affidavits and assisting with Permanent Residence applications, as well as providing Spanish-English interpretation for community services. This brief exposure sparked my interest in immigration law and motivated me to continue learning and contributing to organizations that support immigrant communities.
