Who I am
I’m detail-oriented, empathetic, and relentless about doing things the right way. I believe legal work is about more than forms and deadlines; it’s about people. Clients deserve to feel heard, respected, and protected, especially when the stakes are high.
I graduated from law school with a specialization in international law and a minor in criminal law, and began my career at a criminal defense firm in Colombia. After relocating to the U.S., I worked as a paralegal in immigration law, focusing on cases involving domestic violence and human trafficking, which deepened my commitment to serving people in crisis. I also gained experience as a personal injury paralegal, sharpening my investigation, documentation, and client-communication skills.
I’m a proud bookworm—you’ll usually find me reading novels (mostly romance!) to unwind. I’m also a Swiftie who loves Taylor Swift’s music, and I run to clear my head and stay grounded.
Why I Do This Work
I’ve seen firsthand how the justice system can overwhelm people. Supporting survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking taught me the power of steady guidance and strong advocacy. I joined Rossen Law Firm in 2024 because I align with our core values and our mission to defend futures with compassion and excellence. Working here has been the best professional experience of my life. I’m surrounded by talented attorneys and teammates who live our values daily.
