Welcome to my new blog! Chasing Joy: Adventures of the Birding Immigration Lawyer.

The Covid19 pandemic transformed me. It transformed me into a bird and nature photographer. It transformed me into a new version of myself that I sometimes do not recognize. Instead of stressing about all the various hats I wear in life- mother, wife, lawyer, employer, business owner, community leader, bar leader and more, I take them all in my stride because I find myself chasing joy- joy through the love of birding and photography.

It was a gradual process of simply taking in nature in my backyard. I write about this process in my article “How Birding Made Me a Better Lawyer” published in my Above the Law column which was reprinted by AILA, the American Immigration Lawyers Association, and Practice Source. I wrote another article for AILA titled The Birding Immigration Lawyer which you can read here.
