I’m an immigration and refugee lawyer in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
After attending Osgoode Hall Law School, I was called to the Bar of Ontario in 2015. Since 2015, I have worked as an associate lawyer at a top immigration and refugee law firm in Toronto, as a staff lawyer at the HIV and AIDS Legal Clinic Ontario (“HALCO”), and am now in private practice.
I have represented clients in applications to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada and Canada Border Services Agency, before all divisions of the Immigration and Refugee Board, and before the Federal Court of Canada. I have also represented interveners at the Federal Court and the Supreme Court of Canada.
In addition to my law practice, I am an instructor at the Queen’s University Graduate Diploma Certificate in Immigration and Citizenship Law, and a member of the Board of Directors of the Junior Immigration and Refugee Lawyers’ Network.
I speak English and French (Intermediate).
