With a degree from the UO in business administration and a focus in sports marketing, I moved to Michigan to work for the Detoit Pistons. After just one year with Palace Sports and Entertainment, I moved to California to begin classes at Whittier Law School in Orange County. I just finished my first year and another trip to Europe to study. I went to Universidad de Cantabria in Santander, Spain, for the month of June to study international sports law and international negotiations. I then went to Toulouse, France, for the month of July to study music law, intercultural communications, international gaming law, and French media transactions at the Universite de Toulouse Law School. I feel very fortunate to have been able to study abroad while an undergrad as well as a law student and would highly recomend that everyone take advantage of these opportunities whenever possible.
