Profile of Our People: The Path from Immigrants to Immigration Attorneys

The Immigration Conversation | Presented by Fragomen

In this episode of the Immigration Conversation Podcast, Pro Bono Director Barbara Camacho speaks with Fragomen Fellow Lucia Damerau and Associate Ana Gabriela Urizar about the twin sisters' personal immigration journeys.

Growing up in a small town in Guatemala, Lucia and Ana Gabriela eventually arrived in New York City, finding their footing in a bustling environment and surrounded by new cultures and languages. Their drive and ambition led them to not only successfully adjusting to a new life in the United States, but also to completing law school after college.

Ultimately, both Lucia and Ana Gabriela pursued careers in immigration law because of the impact of their own experiences as immigrants.
