"I am a licensed attorney with a specialty in writing and legal research. I love helping students of all ages and educational backgrounds refine and strengthen their writing. I have tutored high school, college, and law students in essay writing, personal statements, legal memoranda, and research papers. My work extends to Bar Exam takers, with whom I have worked for the past 3 years as they prepare for the essay portion of the exam. I take a warm and collaborative approach with honest feedback that is tailored to each student's voice and the purpose of their assignment.

I have been practicing law for 7 years. I graduated from Washington and Lee University School of Law. I worked in the Federal Immigration Court as a law clerk to immigration judges doing legal research and writing. I got this position through the U.S. Department of Justice's Attorney General Honors Program. I then worked in the Staff Attorney's Office at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, where I wrote memoranda and decisions for Federal Appellate Judges on immigration appeals. Since 2023, I have been working as an immigration attorney at a large public defense nonprofit organization in New York City. I have expertise in legal research and writing, and I specialize in federal immigration litigation. I have led numerous trainings and taught continuing legal education courses for attorneys on these subjects.

I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2014 with a double major in Spanish and International Studies as well as a minor in Women's Studies.

Finally, I hold a Teaching English as a Foreign Language ("TEFL") certification. From 2012 to 2015, I taught ESL to adult Spanish speakers and a Citizenship Test Prep Course in a classroom setting to students from all over the world. I am fluent in Spanish and have tutored high school and college students in their Spanish courses as well.

Please reach out with any questions about my background or services! I'd love to work with you." less...
