“I graduated Ramapo College in 2008 with a major in Spanish Language Studies and minor in Latin American Studies. Subsequent to graduation, I received my Juris Doctor from Seton Hall University School of Law in 2011.”

“Currently, I am an attorney at Hack, Piro, O’Day, Merklinger Wallace, and McKenna, located in Florham Park, NJ. I joined the firm as an associate in 2012. I practice primarily in civil litigation with an emphasis on the defense of general liability, commercial premises, automobile and product liability cases. I also handle the defense of criminal matters.”

“My ability to communicate in Spanish has been an absolute advantage in my career. It has greatly enhanced my ability to attract clients to the law firm, which is a valuable asset in a competitive market. I attempt to utilize my Spanish speaking skills as often as possible.”

“I also had the fortunate opportunity to study in Spain during my junior year at Ramapo College. It was by far the best experience in my life to date. I lived in a home stay and was able to learn so much about the Spanish culture. It has helped to see things from a different perspective. I am thankful that I was able to incorporate such a great experience into my studies.”
