Joe graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Public Relations from BYU in 2015 before returning to BYU the next year for Law School. He was born in Provo. He was raised in Provo. And he is proud to call Provo "home." Notwithstanding, he takes every opportunity he can to get out of town and see the world. Joe enjoys reading, running, and rock-climbing (but he doesn't claim to be well-read, particularly fast, or an expert climber).
Emily is from Salt Lake City, Utah where she studied Communications and Business at the University of Utah. As a third-year law student at the J Reuben Clark School of Law, Emily is excited to begin practicing after graduating (this year!) and utilizing all she has learned. She recently spent her summer working in immigration law and is pursuing a career in the immigration law practice. She loves boxing, running, and hiking and you can almost always find her with a Diet Coke in hand.
