Summary

My original passion and what I went to school for was law. When I arrived in the US I could not continue my chosen field due to varies reasons, I worked in other fields to support myself and family. For last 10 years I've been employed in hotel and gaming which I found I like and would like to continue in. I am now in a position where I can pursue my original passion in law with an industry I like which is gaming. Boyd School of law and LLM program it offers will give me the opportunity I've been looking for and excell in.
