“I was born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina and am a product of my community. I am also the child of immigrant parents who traveled across the world to afford me a better life. I cannot think of more rewarding work than providing necessary legal services to this vulnerable group of people and affording them the opportunities I had growing up.“
