I attended Vanderbilt University School of Law, and graduated with my Doctor of Laws (JD) in 1995. I have been an actively practicing in the field of iimmigration law for 16 years. I represent clients primarily located in Nashville, TN and Huntsville, AL, and the surrounding areas. The first sixteen years of my career I practiced with Rose Immigration Law Firm, PLC, where I was a Partner of the firm. I recently left Rose Immigration to pursue another opportunity.
I am active in pro bono matters, and am dedicated to the cause of educating clients, attorneys, and the public alike in issues surrounding the U.S. immigration laws. As an active member of the American Immigration Lawyer's Association (AILA) I have served as a apractice mentor, a liaison to the USCIS Service Center, and have spoken and written extensively on immigration issues.
I have extensive experience in employment-based immigration matters, including:
- All nonimmigrant and immigrant petition types
- Adjustment of status after the employment-based petition
- Family-based immigration cases, including:
Spouses
Fiance(e)s
Children and
Siblings
- Employee verification (Form I-9 and E-Verify), including aduits and litigation
- Naturalization matters
- Adoption of foriegn children
- Humanitarian cases (U, T, and VAWA cases)
- And much more.
I am a wife and mother of two school-aged boys, and am active in their Boy Scout Troop (Troop 17, chartered at Blakemore United Methodist Church.) I enjoy spending time with my husband and children, vegetable gardening, our chickens and dogs, reading, international travel, and SCUBA diving.
