The coolest thing I've done as a Boyd student has been…
…joining the Society of Advocates (SOA). It has provided me with countless opportunities to practice and hone my advocacy skills, including traveling to New York City last year to compete. That's something I am anxious to repeat this coming spring!
You are chair of the third annual Frank A. Schreck Gaming Law Competition taking place here at Boyd in the spring. How are things shaping up?
Thanks to the success and amazing momentum built up by last year’s chair, Valerie Gray, there are currently more teams registered for this year’s competition than last year, so I am very excited about that! We released the competition problem thanks to the help and support from Charlotte Buys, the Special Projects Editor on the UNLV Gaming Law Journal, and Professor Jennifer Roberts. We will soon grade the briefs and then organize and host the competition here at Boyd -- all the fun stuff!
If you could have dinner with one historical figure, who would it be?
Queen Elizabeth I. I would love to meet the woman whose birth unsettled nations but who was beloved in her reign. In an era dominated by patriarchy, famine, and war, England flourished under her rule and experienced a period of economic and political stability that was unprecedented.
So what's the plan following graduation in May?
After taking the Nevada bar exam in July, I am taking two weeks off to tour Egypt and then reading a few non-law related books prior to starting my career at Messner Reeves as an associate. Later, I plan to take the Texas and Florida bar exams to ensure familial happiness.
