What brought you to Las Vegas (or another city)? and Tell me about your decision to attend Boyd School of Law.

I am the rare Las Vegas native! You don't meet a lot of folks who were born here, in my age range. I went to UNR for undergrad and then decided to return to Vegas for law school. Boyd was newly-accredited and I knew I wanted to practice in Nevada, so why not go to Boyd? And, It was a wonderful education, absolutely on par with anything I could've gotten out of state. I was intellectually challenged, engaged, and I made friends who are with me today.
