Giving back to my community is important to me. 

After law school in 2012, and before I became a practicing attorney, I had the honor and privilege to manage President Barack Obama's campaign office in Little Havana in Miami, Florida. Thanks to my team's efforts, President Obama won almost 30 out of 32 precincts in Little Havana, a Hispanic enclave long-considered a Republican stronghold.

I appeared on Telemundo, CBS, and other international affiliates on behalf of the campaign as I speak Spanish and French fluently. I also published an op-ed in the Miami Herald detailing how we won the election. I also met my wife on the campaign and together we moved back to New York City, started a company, and began a life committed to one another.
