Svetlana is an immigrant myself.  She came to the United States with her family at the age of 15, escaping former Soviet Union because of the religious and social discrimination and persecution.  She worked hard from the first day when she landed in Detroit on a blistery December day.  She held many different jobs, but never lost sight of obtaining education and helping others.  Svetlana realized that Immigration Law is a career path that will enable her to apply her many talents and compassion for helping people.
