What is the nicest thing a customer has ever said about your business?
One of the nicest things a client has ever said about my practice is: "Aisha truly cares about her clients. She guided me through one of the most stressful times of my life with kindness, patience, and expertise.

What Motivates you professionally?
What motivates me professionally is the opportunity to make a real difference in people’s lives. Immigration is more than just paperwork—it’s about families reuniting, individuals finding safety, and people building better futures. As an immigrant myself, I know firsthand how complex and emotional the process can be. That personal experience fuels my passion for helping others navigate the system with confidence and dignity. Seeing my clients succeed—whether it’s getting a Green Card, winning an asylum case, or becoming a U.S. citizen—reminds me why I do this work. Every case I take on is a chance to change someone’s life for the better, and that is the greatest motivation of all.

What do you consider to be your greatest success?
My greatest success in life is my children. Watching them grow, learn, and develop into their own unique individuals brings me endless joy and fulfillment. They have taught me more about love, patience, and resilience than anything else. Through them, I’ve learned the true meaning of sacrifice and unconditional love. They inspire me to be my best self, both personally and professionally. Every challenge I overcome and success I achieve is driven by my desire to create a better future for them. Their curiosity, kindness, and determination remind me of what truly matters. They fill me with pride and purpose every day. They are my greatest achievement and biggest motivation.
 
Who do you look up to or admire?
On a personal level, the three people I have admired most are my parents and grandmother. Each of them instilled invaluable qualities in me in their own unique way. From my parents, I learned the importance of hard work, and from my grandmother, I gained an understanding of patience—a lesson that continues to shape my perspective on life. On a professional level, I have deep admiration for my clients, who face immense challenges yet remain determined to build a better future for themselves and their families. Their resilience, courage, and perseverance inspire me every day. I am also grateful for the mentors and coaches who have guided and supported me throughout my journey, helping me grow both personally and professionally.

When you're not working where, in Gilbert, do you spend your time?
Some of my favorite spots in Gilbert are Buck and Rider, Yogaspot, and Jabz Boxing. I also spend quite a bit of time at The Learning Experience Morrison Ranch, where I see the amazing staff twice a day, Monday through Friday, during drop-off and pick-up for my kids.
