CEO @Alma | Reimagining legal immigration | Harvard Law
Hi there, I’m Aizada! I’m an immigrant, attorney, and tech founder. Here’s my story… In 2015, I graduated from Harvard Law School. I couldn’t stay in the US due to visa issues and went to work in London. Three years later, I moved to California with my husband. When I moved back to the US, that's when the immigration nightmare began. As I would with any other service provider, I used Google to find lawyers who could help me with my immigration process. I found a firm. I hired them. I was given the wrong advice. That advice led me to almost miss out on a job offer that, thankfully, I later secured. With that frustration in mind, I realized I had to start a company to solve the problem professionals were facing. Now, I’m building Alma to reimagine immigration legal services. Alma is designed to lead each case with speed, excellence, and care. Disclaimer: Nothing I share on this platform is legal advice. Opinions are my own and shared for informational purposes only.
