Ghizal was in the first class of young Afghan girls to participate in the academic program Youth Exchange and Study between Afghanistan and the United States. After returning to Kabul, she was awarded a full scholarship to the University of Houston, from which she graduated with an Honors degree in political science. To give back to the United States, Ghizal served in the U.S Army for four years. After being honorably discharged, Ghizal entered the Thurgood Marshall School of Law and became a member of the Texas State Bar. Before beginning a practice in immigration, Ghizal practiced Civil and Criminal litigation for two years.

“Based on my background and culture, I understand what it takes to leave your country. I applaud the strength of immigrants who go through hardship and struggles to find a better future for themselves and their children. I want to help all who pursue the legal path to immigrate to this wonderful country.”
