I have many years of substantive legal practice experience in the field, working in law offices of various sizes (large international law firm, innovative individual practice, and specialize boutique firms). I have extensive experience practicing U.S. Immigration Law, focusing on complex employment-based cases, including extraordinary ability, outstanding researcher, and national interest waiver cases. I have also developed smart strategies for knowledge management and legal quality assurance for complex employment-based request for evidence (RFE) responses.

My collective law-related work experience spans close to a decade and includes a judicial externship with federal administrative judges, an internship with nationally-recognized jury and trial consultants, and assistance at a very busy court clerk’s office. Uniquely, I also have extensive experience as a law clerk, giving me valuable perspective on what it takes to work under the direction and supervision of a responsible attorney. Then later, as an attorney myself, I have gone on to supervise the work of dedicated and shared paralegals in the last half decade within a complex administrative practice area.

In the course of my work, I have helped mobility and human resources professionals in various organizations, large and small, public and private, to support talented and hard-working people from around the world. I have also helped train, formally and informally, numerous paralegals with various levels of legal knowledge and experience, and served as a primary legal editorial lead for complex writing matters, successfully building the first-of-its-kind legal knowledge base and developing a legal quality assurance process and editorial review playbook. Many of the paralegals I have worked with have later attended top U.S. law schools (such as Harvard, UCLA, and NYU) and taken legal managerial (in-house) roles in companies and law firms.

In addition to independent curriculum design, development, and publishing, I am also a certified online faculty member at a college of continuing education and I teach within an ABA-approved paralegal program. I have been trained on best practices for the design, delivery, and assessment of high quality, accessible remote educational materials for adult learners. Importantly, please note that skills courses appearing on Udemy are published independent from any of my college teaching roles.
