Biography

As the founding lawyer at GOOSELAW™ Immigration, I assist businesses and individuals both within Canada and internationally with their Canadian immigration matters. As a Canadian-educated lawyer and a proud immigrant to Canada, I am committed to providing high-quality and personable immigration services.

Your immigration application will benefit from my experience in delivering legal immigration advice and support to mobility groups, human resources, legal departments, and in-house compliance teams at startups, medium-sized and large multinational companies.

I lead GOOSELAW™ Immigration in helping Canadian startups, billion-dollar multinational corporations, families, and individuals with their immigration requirements. Together, we guide clients through the complexities of immigration regulations, including those related to international trade agreements such as NAFTA, CETA, and GATS. Additionally, I oversee the firm's efforts in providing support with various work permit categories, including intra-company transferees, NAFTA professionals, and applications for labour market impact assessments (LMIA) and the Global Talent Stream.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring the great outdoors with my family, especially during the summer while camping. I have a passion for traveling and have been fortunate enough to explore many parts of the African continent.
