Prior to entering Boyd, you worked for Cirque du Soleil. Was that as exciting as it sounds?

Absolutely! I had so much fun working for Cirque and wouldn't trade those years for anything. The shows employ people from all over the world and all walks of life, and everyone has a story to tell. Plus, being backstage on a show of that size means you have to stay constantly on your toes and be ready for anything. That's certainly served me well in law school!
