Describe where you live. What is your neighborhood like?

I live in a house with two other corps members in Summerlin, very close to Red Rock Casino. I love the location; it's about 20 minutes from my school with many amenities close by.

What do you like most about living in the Las Vegas Valley?

Besides the warm weather and constant visitors, I really love the friends that I've made while being a corps member. I can honestly say they are some of the best friends I've ever had.

What is your everyday life like?

Besides teaching and taking classes at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, I enjoy going to many of the local restaurants, hiking at Red Rock, playing soccer, going to social gatherings with other corps members, and doing work at Panera, Starbucks, or the local library.
