Sustaita said, "I am honored and excited to have the opportunity to serve as a Regional Attorney for the EEOC. My entire career has been in the Houston district office litigating on behalf of victims of discrimination. So I am especially proud to now be leading our team of lawyers to enforce our country's anti-discrimination laws."
