Managing Partner Michael Wildes is pleased to announce that Wildes & Weinberg P.C. has secured O-2 visa classification on behalf of Karolina Baldyga, Manager to the renowned tattoo artist and fellow client, Amalie Arsinevici.
Karolina was hired by Amalie as her Manager & Executive Assistant in January 2022, and was pivotal in helping Amalie expand her portfolio to work with other top artists, studios, and brands, as well as maintaining her client base around the world.
