Ray attended the University of San Diego where he majored in environmental studies. As much as he loved the field work involved in his major, he developed an affinity for the social implications related to environmental forces. In order to one day become a liaison between people and the environment, he decided to obtain a legal education at California Western School of Law. Now as a matured second year student and because of his fascination with social entrepreneurship, Ray's interests have broadened to include the legal aspects of intellectual property and business law alongside his environmental focus.
In school, he currently acts as the social media chair for both the Environmental Law Society and the Middle Eastern Law Student Association. He is also a competitor for the school's Alternative Dispute Resolution team. As a tutor, he teaches first year students the basics behind contract law. Outside of school, Ray tries his best to keep active by joining pick-up Frisbee and Basketball games (#ballislife), hiking the various landscapes around San Diego, or jogging around Mission Bay.
