MEET THE TEAM
Katlyn Mathy
1. Who has had the biggest impact on your career choice?
Professor Robert Kearney was the first person to seriously encourage me to become a lawyer. In college, I thought I wanted a numbers-related role, like an actuary or math teacher. I was a double major taking math and business courses, and I was lucky enough to land in Professor Kearney’s business law course. Professor Kearney would always ask me after class when (not if) I would take the LSAT, and where (not whether) I would attend law school. I thought he was joking at first, but despite my skepticism, Professor Kearney kept encouraging and motivating me to pursue a career practicing law. I have always respected Professor Kearney both as an attorney and as an educator, so his opinion meant a lot to me, and I eventually took the plunge. I know there are a lot of attorneys out there just like me who owe their careers to Professor Kearney. 2. What’s the scariest thing you’ve ever done, and why did you do it? Last summer, I hiked the Mount Rose Traverse in one day. Climbing over loose boulders to summit Snowflower Mountain, Church’s Peak, and Mount Rose was terrifying. I had to shed my “flatlander” status after living in the Midwest for over 30 years. 3. If you could do anything, besides what you’re doing now, what would you do? If I could do anything? I’d be a multilingual rapper who constantly reinvents myself, creates my own music and album art, and tours the world performing interactive shows.
4. What was your all-time favorite Halloween costume?
Halloween is a great outlet for me to quote Jim Carrey. Ace Ventura is my go-to costume.
5. Which family member makes the best food?
No question, my Oma (“Grandma” in German) makes the best food. She always remembers the most important ingredient: love. Seriously, though, the woman raised five kids and still feeds my hungry Opa (“Grandpa” in German) cooking from scratch.
6. What’s the best concert you’ve ever been to?
Seeing No Doubt perform was pure magic. No Doubt’s been on hiatus since 2013, but they got together for a few one-off shows in 2015. Gwen Stefani and the boys absolutely crushed it at Riot Fest. I love No Doubt almost as much as I love The Beatles, so witnessing their music live was something I’ll never forget. I was also lucky enough to see Merle Haggard perform at that Riot Fest (less than a year before he passed away).
