Saul was born in Phoenix, Arizona and lived there for about 7 years until moving to Albuquerque. He loves Albuquerque and at this point consider himself more New Mexican than from Arizona. His favorite thing about Albuquerque is the weather. He attended Central New Mexico Community College first and received an associate’s degree in political science and an associate’s degree in general studies in 2022. He then attended the University of New Mexico and obtained a Bachelor’s in Sociology with a minor in Political Science in 2024. Saul would like to continue expanding his education but for now a much needed break is due. He was drawn to immigration law because he has a huge interest in human rights, social justice, and legal systems. He also knows that he has a chance to directly impact people’s lives. Saul is a first generation American and his parents immigrated from Mexico. Being able to help individuals who are often vulnerable and are part of communities facing significant challenges is meaningful to him. He also loves the diversity in immigration law. It’s a field where every case is different. Each client has their own unique story and being able to gather all the puzzle pieces and put them together to view the full picture is rewarding. His interests outside of work revolve around sports. Saul is a huge soccer fan and loves playing recreational soccer, outdoor or indoor, and his favorite position to play is goalkeeper. He loves watching new shows (novelas) and spending time with his 3 dogs. He also enjoys golfing on the weekends. Saul enlisted into the U.S. Army immediately after his 18^th birthday.
