About Me
I was born in Mexico and raised in the Midwest after my family moved to the United States when I was five. As an immigrant and first-generation lawyer, I understand what it’s like to navigate systems that weren’t built with people like us in mind. This perspective deeply influences how I practice law. I bring not only legal expertise but also clear guidance and empathy to my work, whether I’m advocating for a business in high-stakes litigation or helping a Spanish-speaking client feel seen and understood in our legal system.
I feel incredibly fortunate to practice law alongside colleagues I greatly respect at a firm that values both excellence and a collaborative, supportive work environment.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, reading, and trying my hand at authentic Mexican food recipes, especially those that remind me of my childhood and my late mom.
