Global Immigration Consultant
About Me
I am a dedicated professional with a passion for advocating for immigrants to the USA. For over two decades, I have been committed to helping individuals navigate the complex immigration process and reunite families.
My Journey
Born in the South American country of Guyana, my personal immigration journey took me from Guyana to the United Kingdom of Great Britain (UK) and eventually to the USA. These experiences ignited my passion for immigration law and inspired me to make a difference in the lives of others.
Professional Background
During my time in the UK, I had the privilege of working with various barristers, law firms, a Magistrate Court, and the Inner London Probation Service. I immersed myself in the intricacies of immigration law, engaging in pro-bono services to secure my permanent residency. Witnessing the impact of the immigration process in the UK on individuals seeking a better life, I felt compelled to assist others in their pursuits of permanent residency and citizenship.
A Mother’s Journey
As a proud mother of my only son, our family made the life-changing decision to immigrate to the USA. Despite facing divorce and the challenges of single motherhood, I continued my education in law, and worked in several law firms in Washington, DC and Atlanta, Georgia. Together, my son and I successfully applied for green cards and eventually became beneficiaries of US citizenship. Our journey was not without loss – my beloved son transitioned in 2022 – but his memory fuels my purpose.
Uniting Families
Drawing from my experiences, I decided to leverage my knowledge to unite families. I have assisted several individuals in my community with their immigration needs. Through careful guidance and minimal cost, these individuals have become lawful permanent residents/green card holders of the USA and subsequently naturalized US citizens. My passion extends beyond borders. I have traveled to four continents and explored over 10 countries, gaining a deeper understanding of diverse cultures and the shared human experience. Additionally, I have played significant roles in various stage and theatre productions both in Guyana and the USA.
