"The thing I love most about my job is the variety of cases I handle. While I handle only criminal cases, in one day I can handle everything from a simple drug case, to a violent robbery or attempted murder, so I am never really doing the exact same thing."

"My favorite part of undergrad was participating in Dr. Kennedy's research lab. Not only did I learn a lot, but I met a great group of women who I am sure will become future leaders in our community. My role models were my parents and a few professors and teachers I had over the years."

"One would have to attend law school to become an attorney, but for undergraduates my advice would be to major in something you are really interested in and enjoy as law school doe not have any specific prerequisite requirements. I would also highly recommend getting as much practical experience as possible by doing internships and externships whenever you can, especially with an agency that you are interested in working for. During my undergrad, I interned with LVMPD in the Crimes Against Youth and Family Division. While I was in law school I completed externships with the Honorable Judge Douglas Herndon of the Eight Judicial District Court and the Clark County District Attorney's office. I also participated in the Juvenile Justice Clinic during law school which gave me some additional court room experience."
