At Manifest Law, I managed employment-based and nonimmigrant immigration matters from case initiation through preparation and filing. I drafted petitions, support letters, legal arguments, and RFE responses, using client records and USCIS guidance to prepare organized, evidence-based submissions.

Previously, at Colombo & Hurd, P.A., I drafted EB-2 NIW arguments and support letters, translating complex professional backgrounds into USCIS-focused narratives. Across remote legal teams, I’ve also researched immigration matters, organized supporting evidence, and coordinated petition work with attorneys and clients.
