In this episode, we’re joined by Sandra Michaca ’12, founder of The Michaca Law Firm, where she specializes in immigration law—one of the most complex and consequential areas of legal practice today.

Sandra reflects on her Oswego journey, from arriving on campus drawn by Lake Ontario, to diving into leadership through ALANA, the Student Association Supreme Court, and multiple student organizations. She shares how those experiences built her confidence, sharpened her public speaking, and prepared her to advocate for clients navigating high-stakes immigration processes.

Sandra also discusses what inspired her to pursue law at just 14 years old, the realities of practicing immigration law in a rapidly changing environment, and why she believes a single consultation can change a life.

If you’re a current student or early-career professional, Sandra’s message is a strong one: get experience early, stay curious, and don’t be afraid to put yourself out there.
