Why Law School: I chose to go to law school to be challenged and to expand my world view.
Why LSU Law: I chose the LSU Law Center because I was looking for an affordable school with a good academic reputation and an international perspective.
The Faculty: I think many of the faculty care about helping students genuinely understand the material. I think that several of them expect great work and hard work, and that those expectations push students to do their best.
Just for Fun: I really enjoy adventure travel. I’ve been hiking, kayaking, fly fishing, cave spelunking, camel riding, rock climbing, snowshoeing, skiing … you name it, I pretty much want to try it. Well, except for bungee jumping! I also like to read and cook, and I’m really into community volunteering and local politics. Next up is an ice climb …
