Having witnessed firsthand how the immigration process can profoundly affect people’s lives, Mr. Barrientos is dedicated to helping others navigate their own immigration journeys.

During law school, he gained hands-on experience in immigration law through Northeastern’s Immigrant Justice Clinic, where he assisted clients seeking asylum and Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
