About Chelan
Biography
I am a passionate and dedicated advocate. I have worked with the immigrant community in Washington State for over 15 years. I am fluent in Spanish and completely bicultural, having spent a year studying in Puebla, Mexico.
As part of my commitment to my work and the immigrant communities in Washington State, I provide hundreds of hours of volunteer work each year to various nonprofit organizations working with immigrant communities.
My extensive experience with immigrant communities allows me to understand the unique obstacles facing many immigrants living in the United States. As a result, I am able to better understand and soothe my clients' fears and help guide them to success in their immigration case.
