Who We Are

Michelle is a lawyer, business owner, and outdoor enthusiast who does things differently. Her path to practicing immigration law started after experiencing first-hand the immigration process to get her Colombian husband to Canada. It is an area of law where she can connect with her clients on a personal level and find creative solutions to immigration problems.

Passionate about the small-town mountain lifestyle, Michelle chose to set up an immigration practice in Revelstoke, BC. From her base in Revelstoke, Michelle utilizes technology to serve clients throughout the Interior BC and around the world looking to make the move to Canada.
