Background/Education/Experience
I have an Honours B.A. specialist degree in International Development from the University of Toronto and a J.D. from Queen’s University Law School in Kingston, Ontario. Prior to law school, I managed various grassroots community development projects throughout the Americas. Throughout law school, I was awarded the Dean’s Counsel Diversity Award for my work with organizations such as the Queen's University Prison Law Project, the Sylvia Rivera Law Project in New York City, and the Illinois Migrant Legal Assistance Project in Chicago.
As a lawyer, I have worked for two of Canada’s top personal injury firms and have appeared before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, Ontario Court of Appeal, and other tribunals. I have previously volunteered as a Junior Board Member of Spinal Cord Injury Ontario and as a regular contributor to the case summaries’ newsletter of the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association.
Organizations & clubs
Most recently, I acted as treasurer for the Canadian Hispanic Bar Association, as a member of the Ontario Bar Association's Law Day planning committee, and as a commissioner on the American Bar Association’s Commission on Hispanic Legal Rights and Responsibilities.
