Every year since 1998, the Southern Nevada Association of Women Attorneys (SNAWA) has been a terrific partner with the law school. SNAWA has provided scholarships to our student leaders, and I am delighted to congratulate this year’s scholarship recipients: Julia Armendariz, Khaylia DeCaires, Myrra Dvorak, Theresa Guerra, Ashley Hulbert, and Skylar Arakawa-Pamphilon.

Tell us about your summer in our nation’s capital!

My summer was phenomenal! I interned for the Office of Management and Budget within the Executive Office of the President. My job entailed providing research and analysis on a broad range of issues involving Energy, Science, and Water policy. What I loved most about this position is that every day presents an opportunity to learn, meet new people, and – most importantly – to contribute to the federal policymaking process.
