1. What are your primary areas of immigration practice?
Business Immigration, particularly ICTs, Labour Market Impact Assessments and Free Trade Agreements.
2. What motivated you to join the OBA Citizenship & Immigration Law Section Executive?
I like being able to bounce ideas off other practitioners in the field who have different experience and different points of view. Each firm has their own processes and innovations, which is really helpful in order to improve everyone’s internal flow. Being on the exec is also especially helpful when it comes to trying to manage the continuous changes in the immigration system. During COVID, for example, it provided us with a platform to hash out the new rules which were being released daily so that we could circulate updates from a practical perspective to our colleagues.
3. What do you enjoy most about practicing immigration law?
First and foremost, I love developing relationships with my clients from around the globe. It fascinates me to learn how companies work in different parts of the world, what the cultural differences are, how to communicate effectively with people from different countries, etc.
