About

I am an aspiring lawyer, who migrated to the U.S. about 8 years ago without knowing English and with disabilities. Going through k-12 in the U.S. as an immigrant I endure a lot of challenges that would have been resolved if there were better laws and regulations in the system. Therefore, my goal is to bring that change by becoming a lawyer advocating for immigrant and disabled individuals.

Goals and interests

Career goal
