Personal Interests & Charitable Work
Beyond my legal practice, I am deeply committed to community engagement and advocacy. In 2017, I actively worked on issues related to the travel ban, providing critical support during a pivotal moment in immigration policy. I continue this dedication through my immigration work. I am also deeply involved and committed to voter protection initiatives, upholding electoral integrity, and serving as Vice Chair of the 8th Congressional District Democratic Party of Wisconsin. My role as a community organizer emphasizes empowering individuals and fostering inclusive political engagement. I am a proud member of the Wisconsin LGBT Chamber of Commerce and the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA). In my personal time, I enjoy traveling, exploring local cultures, and discovering new music scenes, and I have a particular fondness for dogs.
