As evidenced in Christy living in different places throughout the United States and Europe, Christy is always ready for a challenge and embraces new experiences. In that regard, while studying law at Texas Tech University School of Law in Lubbock, Texas, she eagerly accepted the Tax Clinic's prestigious invitation extended to only seven students to work as a student-attorney. Her Tax Clinic experience of handling diverse tax controversy issues against the Internal Revenue Service prompted Christy, a licensed Texas attorney, to further her tax focus and earn a LL.M. in Taxation from the University of Florida in Gainesville. While treating herself to a vacation in Anchorage after graduating from the University of Florida, Christy fell in love with Alaska, decided to make Anchorage her new home, and joined the Durrell Law Group in 2007. Because Christy loves Alaska and her job, she now enjoys the best of both worlds and looks forward to her new adventures in Alaska.
