Tell us about your work with the Nevada State Legislature prior to law school.

My job at the legislature was phenomenal and one of the most gratifying work experiences I’ve ever had. I worked for Senator Tick Segerblom, and I enjoyed working with citizens, legislators, and community organizations to craft legislation that helped thousands of Nevadans. Even now when I am not there, I often have the committee hearings streaming online in the background while I study. 
 
Fill in the blanks:  "My favorite class at Boyd was _____ because _____."

This is tough to answer. But one of my favorite classes at Boyd was Judicial Writing because of Professor Joe Regalia’s insistence that all of his students grow as writers. He stressed how important it is to continue to learn, refine, and reflect on your writing. Even if you do not plan to pursue a clerkship, I think his class is helpful. It builds upon Boyd’s top-notch legal writing curriculum.
 
Anybody in particular you'd like to give a shout out as you approach graduation in May?

A huge shout out to my girlfriend, Beatriz for her unconditional support throughout law school. Many thanks to my law school crew who have become my closest friends since our very first 1L classes. And a shout out to La Voz and the executive board that I served with during my 2L year; we worked together to help high school students pursue their dreams of becoming lawyers. Even though they won’t see this, a big shout out to my family -- I couldn’t ask for more.
 
Graduation.  The bar exam.  What then?

I’m headed to Reno, Nevada where I will be clerking for Judge Patrick Flanagan in the Second Judicial District of Nevada.
