I am a native from New Jersey and have spent most of my life in Arizona. I attended Hamilton High School in Chandler, Arizona. I finished my undergraduate studies in public administration and in Russian language, literature, and culture at the New York State University at Albany in Albany, New York, where I was also a member of the school’s rowing team. I earned my law degree from Arizona Summit Law School (formerly Minnesota School of Law) and am admitted to practice in the state of Arizona.

I currently practice immigration law at Alcock & Associates and primarily handle provisional waivers of unlawful presence, consular processing, adjustment of status, naturalization, self-petitions under the Violence Against Women Act, and U visas for qualified crime victims. Immigration law is very important to me and my family.

All of my great-grandparents were immigrants and came to the United States through Ellis Island in New York. My ancestors are from what are now parts of the Czech Republic and Slovakia on my mother’s side, and from Russia and Poland on my father’s side. I love helping others see their family gain status in the United States, just as my great-grandparents did about 100 years ago.

In my free time, I enjoy rowing, reading, traveling, and record movies. I can be contacted at 612-315-1111.
