My name is Melissa Lopez. I was born and raised in San Jose, CA. I have spent my entire life in the San Jose community. I attended De Anza Community College then transferred up north to Humboldt State University where I received my Bachelor’s degree in Sociology with a Minor in Business. I am fluent in Spanish and English.

I have always had an interest and passion in immigration law and giving back to the community since I’ve always enjoyed helping others in need. I particularly enjoy helping out the Hispanic community as both of my parents are from Jalisco, Mexico. My goal is to one day further my education and attend law school.
