Aracely was born and raised in Yuma, Arizona. She comes from a family of 8, being the eldest of 6 children. Growing up, she learned to navigate under pressure with planning, dedication and sacrifice – skills that would later prove invaluable in her legal career. In 2015, Aracely began her legal adventure as a Summer legal intern for a criminal defense and family law attorney and through her quick adaptation to the work and process she was offered a legal assistant position. She was fascinated by the legal process, intensity of case law and overall systemizing structure and procedures.
With the drive for growth, Aracely joined Attorney Cid Kallen’s former law firm, Kallen Law in 2017 as his legal assistant/file clerk for criminal defense and family law. When Cid began his firm expansion, it came with gaining additional experience in networking, marketing and strategic planning for overall firm growth and success. While she loved being a part of the firm’s growth and evolvement throughout her five years with the firm, Aracely pursued a new challenge in a different area of law working in personal injury where she worked for two years.
Aracely has since returned to work with Attorney Cid Kallen, this time as the Client Relations Manager at Citrine Law. In this role, she finds fulfillment in managing client relationships, developing standardized operating procedures, and tracking the firm’s performance and progress toward continued success.
Away from her professional commitments, Aracely dedicates time to activities that ignite her enthusiasm. Aracely is a passionate, creative and driven soul that loves to express herself through her interests. She enjoys spending most of her time with her family, fiancé and 6 yorkie fur babies! Aracely is also a skilled crafter that loves to make various custom projects – she enters a different realm of calmness when in her crafting zone. Cooking is another of her passions; she finds delight in experimenting with new recipes and sharing delicious meals with family and friends. When she’s not in the kitchen or exploring her creative side, you can find her on the hunt for unique “treasures” at Marshalls, Target, or Home Goods, always in search of the perfect addition to her home decor.
