Where I’m From

I was born and raised in Manhattan’s Chinatown to immigrant parents from China. Growing up in an immigrant community shaped how I see the world and gave me an early appreciation for courage, ambition, and resilience it takes to build a life in a new country. From an early age, I saw how language barriers, unfamiliar systems, and lack of representation could make even simple interactions feel overwhelming – and how powerful it was when someone stepped in to advocate on behalf of others. As a child, I loved to write and was drawn to journalism because I wanted to amplify people’s voices and understand their experiences. That interest in storytelling and advocacy ultimately led me to law school, where I discovered immigration law. I realized that immigration law allows me to combine both passions: advocating for individuals and businesses while telling their stories to government agencies like USCIS, and helping them build meaningful lives and futures in the United States.

Where I Am Now

Today, I am a U.S. immigration attorney with more than a decade of experience representing individuals, startups, and multinational companies. I have built and managed large-scale PERM programs, drafted complex O-1 and EB-1 petitions, responded to audits and Requests for Evidence, and advised clients on compliance across a wide range of nonimmigrant and immigrant visa categories. I’ve worked at large and boutique immigration firms, collaborating with Fortune 500 companies, research institutions, and growing businesses across many industries. After years of helping clients navigate high-stakes immigration matters, I started Found Immigration so I could provide highly personalized, strategic, and thoughtful representation – working directly with individuals, families, and businesses to help them move forward with clarity and confidence.

Where I’m Going

I’m excited to partner closely with you and hear your story – where you’re from, where you are now, and where you want to go. Whether you’re pursuing a new opportunity, building a company, reuniting with family, or planning your long-term future in the U.S., my goal is to listen to your story, understand what matters most to you, and help translate your journey into a strong, compelling immigration strategy.
