Valentina is a Senior Business Immigration Attorney at Fragomen’s Ecuador office, where she delivers comprehensive migratory services tailored to both foreigners journeying to Ecuador and Ecuadorians living or traveling abroad. Her principal objective is to ensure her clients undergo a seamless and rewarding immigration journey, despite the inherent challenges associated with such a personal and professional endeavor.

Valentina also worked at an Ecuadorian state office, where she led a 20-person team overseeing the Ecuadorian government’s scholarship programs. One of her most significant accomplishments during her tenure was bringing a strike to a successful conclusion by partnering with scholarship holders from an esteemed university who had not received the benefits they were intended to receive.

Among other duties, Valentina counselled research professors from various fields on study on how to conduct their novel research projects in compliance with laws and regulations.
