I've been helping people achieve their American Dream since 2019, guiding them through the complexities of E-2 visa applications. My journey started long before that, though. After earning two degrees from the University of South Carolina, I worked in economic development for the US state of West Virginia in Germany, assisting companies from across Europe expanding into the US market. This experience gave me valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by international businesses, particularly when moving or expanding to the United States. Since 2019, I've been a licensed Florida sales associate. I am fluent in German and English, allowing me to provide personalized support to a diverse clientele, including German-speaking entrepreneurs.
