Two hashtags that best describe you 
#iamanimmigrant #immigrationlawyer #lawyermom

What do you consider your greatest achievement?
On the personal side of things – my beautiful kids Rose and Perry and my wonderfully supportive husband, Brian. Professionally, I’m so proud of my team of fierce advocates in McEntee Law and also very proud of my children’s book – Our American Dream!

What is your idea of perfect happiness?
True happiness to me really means appreciating everything you already have. I’m trying to incorporate more daily gratitude and the past year has really taught me to be so grateful for my health and that of my family.

What is your greatest fear?
Cats! I’m also very allergic so I have a legitimate reason to avoid them at all costs.

What is something new that you learned about running a business this year?
Yikes! Where to begin? As immigration lawyers and advocates, a large part of our work involves the global mobility of employees, musicians, startups, artists, families etc. Along with our clients, we’ve had an incredibly trying year with all the travel bans, Embassy shutdowns, canceled interviews etc. I’m so proud of the work our team has done throughout this challenging time and I learned that if we can get through this pandemic, we can survive anything.

What is your most marked characteristic?
Determination!

What is your motto?
Life is way too short to be doing a job you don’t truly love!

What advice would you give to yourself at 25 years old?
You did the right thing my moving to the US and getting to help others have a chance at their American Dream is going to be rewarding beyond measure!
