I graduated from Ave Maria University (formerly known as Ave Maria College) - Latin American Campus, San Marcos, Nicaragua with a degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing. Since 2015, I have been certified by the U.S. Department of Justice to practice affirmative immigration law before the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. As a DOJ accredited representative, I serve immigrants through the various, albeit limited pathways available for regularizing their status. I have seen first-hand the harsh realities undocumented people go through as they find their way to the United States and have gotten to know and witness the lives of human beings that for various circumstances have had to leave their homes behind. As an immigrant myself, I am drawn to work in the immigration field. I was born in Managua, Nicaragua, but when I was 5 years old, my parents made the difficult decision of leaving our home country. We lived in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. I learned from a very young age that the "immigrant" is seen and treated differently than the native-born citizen, whether by the general population or by the government, no matter where we happen to find ourselves in the world. For this reason, I believe that it is important that we advocate for the brave people who leave everything behind in the hopes of finding dignity, safety and a better future.

I earned my Juris Doctorate from Emory University School of Law in Atlanta, GA. There I served as a student administrator at the Emory Immigrant Legal Assistance Clinic, learning the value of making quality legal representation accessible to the local immigrant community. I am drawn to working in the immigration field because of my own background as the son of a single mother who immigrated to the U.S. from Peru when I was four years old. The choice to move thousands of miles away from home and navigate through life in a foreign country requires a great deal of sacrifice. The weight of these sacrifices is always in my mind when advocating for clients.

I earned my Juris Doctorate from the Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law in Memphis, TN, fulfilling my lifelong dream of becoming a lawyer. It's a moment I treasure, because my mother, my greatest advocate and believer, witnessed it before her passing. I am drawn to immigration because it is where hope meets resilience. I believe in uplifting those on the margins and giving a voice to the voiceless, working towards a stronger, more inclusive community.

My name is Stephany Perez Espinoza and I am a legal secretary at AIR. My family immigrated to the United States when I was seven years old. I began my education in the United States while living in Florida and later moved to Horn Lake, MS where I graduated from High School in 2015.

I discovered a passion for helping others while working at a private immigration law office. My goal is to be compassionate towards others and provide assistance to those who have a larger role in representing immigrants throughout their journeys.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and working on art projects.

I earned my Juris Doctorate from the Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law in Memphis, TN. It took me many years to get through school and I am so proud to serve as an advocate for immigrants. Originally from Mexico, my family and I have experienced the immigration system firsthand, allowing me to relate to our clients and guide them with sensitivity and understanding. I am continually amazed at the stories of brave men and women who venture out of their home country either for a better life or escaping violence.
