After graduating from the University of Detroit School of Law (now UDM), Donna worked at Legal Services of Eastern Michigan in Flint, MI for six years where she specialized in family law for abused women and children and public benefits. Following many years as a stay home parent, in 2012, she began volunteering at IIMD in the immigration legal department.
Donna was born in Montreal, Quebec and became a naturalized citizen of the U.S. in 1986. Raised in a racially and ethnically mixed neighborhood of Detroit, Donna developed a love for culturally diverse populations that continues to find fulfillment in her work with immigrant clients, staff, and friends at IIMD.
