As the TIP (Tyson Immigration Partnership) Program Coordinator, Matt manages the logistics of Immigrant Connection's partnership with Tyson Foods in bringing high-quality, low-cost immigration legal services to Tyson's immigrant employees. 

“I love that Immigrant Connection is a wildly creative solution to the lack of affordable immigration legal services in our country. To provide legal assistance in churches and Tyson plants, among other places, is amazing to me! I am thankful to be part of a team that thinks outside of the box to serve and love their neighbors well.”
