Joining the Boyd family and having the privilege to be selected as a Public Interest Fellow has created the ultimate opportunity to be the best advocate to those that propelled me to where I am today and I owe everything I am to. As far back as I can remember, my answer to the age-old question “What are you going to be when you grow up?” has always been one thing – a lawyer. My reasoning has differed over the years, but the constant has always been my desire to help others. In 2010, I started my career in public interest as a campaign field organizer and never looked back. Whether it was running a program registering Latinos in Nevada in 2014, lobbying for equal access to education for minority students, immigration casework as a representative for U.S. Senator Harry Reid, it has all served as motivation to continue to pursue justice, equity, and opportunities for those constantly fighting for their right to be heard.
