We’re looking forward to introducing you to Kizzy Berrueta. Check out our conversation below.
Hi Kizzy, thank you so much for joining us today. We’re thrilled to learn more about your journey, values and what you are currently working on. Let’s start with an ice breaker: Have any recent moments made you laugh or feel proud?
Recently, I worked on an employment authorization case that was quite difficult due to special circumstances. I put in all my effort to prepare a strong application, but deep down I was convinced the benefit would be denied. I even told the client not to pay me for the process until it was approved. It made me laugh because I doubted myself when I shouldn’t have. Just a few days later, the application was approved, and I thought, why do I question my own abilities? In the end, it was an excellent experience. It’s funny how often I focus on the outcome more than on the income I could earn.
In addition to my previous experiences, something I’m proud of right now is that through Buedim Community, I’m stepping into another journey that’s deeply meaningful to me, something I’ve always wanted to pursue. I’d love to tell you about my new project: KizForm Solutions. The new project is taking shape with a name inspired by my own. It’s currently in development, and very soon I’ll be launching my website featuring a personal blog in Spanish. The blog will cover immigration topics, practical tips for immigrants, and business-related issues—all written in clear, accessible language so the community can easily understand.
Each post is designed to be read in just a few minutes, with direct links to official sources of information. The entries will feature engaging, easy-to-navigate titles that help readers quickly identify the topic and find what they need. I’m truly excited to see this project come to life: I’ve already written several informative blog entries and I’m eager to share my experiences with the community and with my clients. It’s important to note that my posts do not constitute legal advice, but they will be very useful. Some entries will be informative, while others will reflect personal experiences that may serve as guidance and inspiration.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Absolutely. I do my work from a virtual office in Plano, Texas, thanks to technology, helping many individuals who need to regularize their immigration status in the United States. I go beyond that—I also manage social media to share information about common procedures people need to understand.
What makes my work special is something simple: reliable remote support and effective communication.
Awesome, so let’s give our readers some background – can you briefly introduce yourself?
Yes, absolutely. My name is Kizzy Berrueta, I’m 46 years old, and I was born in the warmest city in Venezuela – Maracaibo, in the state of Zulia. I’m a wife and mother of two wonderful children. I studied Law at the University of Zulia and graduated in 2001. I’ve also completed several postgraduate programs, the most recent being a Doctorate in Managerial Sciences. I worked for 14 years in the public sector, primarily in the criminal law field. The role that gave me the greatest satisfaction was serving as a public criminal defender, which I consider the most noble function within the Venezuelan justice system. That experience shaped me deeply and helped me build my own business with a strong social impact in the United States. My past experiences continue to define me, because to this day, I remain a public servant at heart, even in a new land.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
I went through a significant transformation when I had to work outside my hometown in another state. It was the first time I lived alone. That was back in 2003, in Venezuela — I was 24 years old. Whenever I faced difficulties, my parents, may they rest in peace, always came to my aid. I was their only daughter. That experience really shaped my character, helped me grow stronger in the face of adversity, and taught me to embrace new opportunities in the workplace.
When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
I began turning my pain into power on November 2, 2024—the day my mother, Minerva, passed away. It was the greatest sorrow I’ve ever known, not just because of her death, but because of everything surrounding it. We hadn’t seen each other in six years, and we were so close to reuniting—but everything fell apart. Mourning her from afar, attending her funeral through a video call… it was heartbreaking.
Without the love of my husband Victor and my children Alex David and Diego Andrés, I wouldn’t have been able to endure this incredibly difficult time in my life. While my children are at school, I take refuge in my work. Only a few months have passed, and my pain hasn’t gone away—nor will it. The sorrow and the memories remain, and they will continue to live within me. Day by day, I spend hours reading, preparing documents, focusing on tasks that distract me from thinking or feeling. It is that very pain that drives me to help others. I’ve learned that wounds don’t weaken us; they connect us to others, they make us human.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. Is the public version of you the real you?
Absolutely—I’m the same, unfiltered. Intense, a perfectionist, but not out of vanity, rather out of commitment, and a big talker.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. If you retired tomorrow, what would your customers miss most?
Simply put, I believe they would miss the experience of feeling safe, confident, and understood.
