What is your connection with immigration?

My family came to the U.S. as political refugees. I remember signing my naturalization certificate when I was 10 years old and attending the oath ceremony. Today, when I take clients to the local USCIS office in San Francisco, I still fondly recall the exciting day I became a naturalized citizen there.

What is a fun fact about you?

I love hula/Tahitian dancing!

Thank you for your interest in Lawdragon.
