At the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Relations, I supported the legal team in the Internal Working Group for Refugee Status Determination. I helped prepare petitions, constitutional protection actions, appeals, and related legal activities.

I also supported the management, evaluation, and monitoring of refugee status determination cases. I reviewed and updated physical and digital information and kept the HIT+ system current.

At Admin Ops, I provided administrative and legal support on U.S. immigration matters, including Special Immigrant Juvenile Status, K-1 and K-3 visas, and naturalization. I drafted and translated legal documents in English and Spanish and communicated with immigration courts in Queens, the Bronx, and Brooklyn.

I’m a lawyer with a background in migration law and international protection. I work in Spanish and English, and I’ve completed training in restorative justice and children’s rights.
