Michelle is an Associate at Fragomen’s New York office, where she primarily assists multinational corporate clients with a wide range of U.S. immigration matters, including employment-based petitions for nonimmigrant visas, family-based petitions and applications for permanent residence.

Michelle has completed more than 600 hours of pro bono service through the Immigration Justice Clinic at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University.

As part of her experience at the clinic, Michelle also prepared documentary and testimonial evidence, and drafted and argued motions and briefs on substantive, evidentiary and procedural issues in proceedings before the Immigration Court, the Board of Immigration Appeals and the United States Circuit Court of Appeals.
