In 1994, following the receipt of my "ABITUR", I moved to Florida to start my college/university education. In 1998, I graduated from the University of South Florida cum laude with a B.A. in Political Science and Int'l Affairs.

In December 2000, I graduated from Stetson University College of Law with a Juris Doctorate degree.  Subsequently, I became a member of the Florida Bar.

Between 2000 and 2003, I held various clerking positions with various Tampa Bay law firms, before entering government service, working as a Prosecutor for the State Attorney's Office, in the 12th judicial circuit of Florida.

Between August 2003 and November 2008, I held an associate attorney position with the prominent Jaensch Immigration Law Firm, in Sarasota, Florida.

Since working at the Jaensch Firm and for my own law practice as an experienced immigration attorney, my cases revolve primarily around business immigration, assisting clients from the world over with working in the United States on various types of business- or employment-based visas.
