About Me
In 2008, I graduated from Florida International University’s Honors College with a major in Political Science, a minor in Criminal Justice and a Certificate in Latin American and Caribbean Studies. I received my Juris Doctor from Florida International University College of Law in 2011. While attending law school, I was selected to compete on behalf of the College of Law’s Trial Team in the Honorable E. Earle Zehmer Mock Trial Competition and served as a research assistant for Professor Cyra Choudhury. Prior to joining Rubenstein Law, I worked at the Miami-Dade Office of the State Attorney where I tried over 50 cases ranging from misdemeanors to aggravated felonies. While working at the Miami-Dade Office of the State Attorney, I served as the Assistant Chief of County Court responsible for the supervision and training of over 60 prosecutors in 10 courtrooms, and trained law enforcement officers in credit card fraud, exploitation of the elderly and DUI evidentiary issues. I served on the Executive Board as Vice President of FIU College of Law Alumni Association. Outside of the office, I enjoy traveling, reading, and spending time with my family.
In 2022, I was appointed by U.S. District Judge Joy Flowers Conti to the Plaintiff’s Leadership Committee in In re: Philips Recalled CPAP, Bi-Level PAP, and Mechanical Ventilator Products Litigation, MDL 3014, in the Western District of Pennsylvania.
