For over 20 years, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals and families through their immigration journey and helping businesses of all sizes recruit and retain talent from around the world. Joining the team at Van Der Hout allowed me to grow my practice within an immigration firm dedicated to this same mission for over 40 years. I manage comprehensive immigration benefits and compliance programs for multinational companies and start-ups in a wide-range of industries, including biotechnology, healthcare, information technology, media, arts and entertainment, and financial services. I work closely with in-house counsel and human resources personnel to advise on regulatory compliance, workforce management, and travel and immigration policies.  I regularly conduct training and lead seminars to educate HR, global mobility professionals, and in-house counsel on business immigration matters. I represent corporate and individual clients before U.S. immigration authorities and federal agencies to secure a wide-range of immigration benefits, including temporary work authorization and permanent resident status for international personnel, including executives, multinational managers, scientists, professionals, health care workers, students and artists.  I collaborate with clients to identify practical solutions and effective strategies to adapt to changes in the legal and political landscape impacting immigration.
