Message from Laura

As the daughter of Spanish immigrants, I had the privilege of witnessing many of the challenges my parents faced while adapting to their new country. Language was a major hurdle for them, and they encouraged me to master both English and Spanish from a young age. My father would often remind me, “Learn both languages, and you’ll be able to help twice as many people.” He also counseled me, saying, “You don’t need to know how to do something to be successful; you just need to find the right person to guide you.” I took my dad’s advice to heart and acquired the education and experience necessary to guide my clients towards success.

I understand that no two clients are the same, and I believe that effective advocacy hinges on active listening, a deep understanding of individual needs and a collaborative effort. I welcome the opportunity to work with you and your family to achieve your specific goals.
