[BIO]

I’m an attorney that’s worked on a variety of issues, including: migration, international law, environmental policy and humanitarian affairs. My current work focuses on U.S. immigration law and policy and international labor migration. I’m lucky enough to work for a great think tank in Washington DC, and have been quoted in major news outlets in the U.S. and abroad. Although I was born and raised in California’s Central Valley, I bounced around the bay area, the east coast, Europe and Latin America before ultimately ending up in the district.

I was raised speaking Spanish and Portuguese at home, and picked up English in grade school. I’m now working on learning French, but finding it’s harder than expected.
