"The Women in Sports Law Symposium is an opportunity for law students to see the importance of diversity and women-leadership in male-dominated spaces like the sports industry. The goal of this event is to spotlight and learn from the women [and men] who join us as accomplished lawyers and professionals in sports.”

I am a third-year law student, originally from Larchmont, NY. I graduated from Stanford University in 2020 with Bachelor of Arts degrees in International Relations and Art Practice. While at Stanford, I was a four-year member and captain of the Women’s Lightweight Rowing Team.
Prior work experiences, including as a law clerk for the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee’s Office of the Athlete Ombuds, compliance extern for the Sun Belt Conference, and intern for the Women’s Sports Foundation, have all contributed to my desire to pursue a career in sports. I am particularly interested in expanding access and resources for collegiate and Olympic sports.

I graduated from the University of Virginia in 2018 with a degree in Media Studies and Sociology. At UVA, I worked with the football and women's basketball teams as a head video manager.
After graduation, I joined the athletic department at Georgetown University where I was Marketing Assistant before moving to the women's basketball staff as the Director of Video Operations in 2019. In this role, I had the opportunity to attend the Women Leaders in College Sports annual conferences, as well as other Big East events aimed at promoting women in sports. These experiences pushed me to pursue a career in sports law and to continue working towards greater opportunities for women in sports.

Victoria Branch
I am a 2L at Tulane Law School, coming all the way down from Shelby Township, Michigan. Despite the obvious conflict of interest, I completed my undergraduate studies at THE Ohio State University in 2021 where I majored in Sport Industry and became the proudest Buckeye you’ll ever meet! While attending Ohio State I touched sports in nearly every way imaginable, from facilities and football recruitment to Big Ten video production and broadcasting. I served 2 terms as the President of the Sports Business Association and worked as a Special Projects Intern at the Greater Columbus Sports Commission.
My decision to pursue my legal education at Tulane Law School is 100% owed to the prestige and intentionality of its Sports Law Program. It’s an honor to learn from the best, amongst the best!

Events Operations Coordinator
Ryane Mejia
I'm a first-year law student and a first-generation immigrant from Corona, CA. Holding a bachelor's degree in business management with a minor in Sociology from San Diego State University, my journey into law and sports advocacy stems from a diverse background.
Over five years, I immersed myself in the sports industry, gaining experience in management, production, videography, and marketing. Starting at SDSU, I created impactful end-zone footage for football team meetings, TV broadcasts, and NFL recruit highlight reels, even traveling as a head endzone camera operator.
Transitioning to the Mountain West Network, I operated graphics and replays for live sports streaming. My roles allowed me to work alongside directors and producers, delivering detailed game coverage for nationally ranked sports teams.
Beyond sports, I've worked as a personal assistant to a Forbes 30 under 30 entrepreneur and within a revenue-focused minority investment firm. These experiences equipped me with invaluable business insights and research skills, translating theory into real-life business strategies.
My passion for sports law and advocacy was ignited by witnessing hidden injustices in the industry, including mental health challenges, unequal compensation, and a lack of diversity and mentorship. Post-law school, my goal is to represent clients while reshaping the narrative around violent crimes, financial security, and mental health in male athletics.

I served as an integral part of Gameday Operations with Texas Athletics, interned with Texas Football, and contributed to Texas Athletics' social media.

Currently, I hold the position of CLE Coordinator for WiSLS and proudly serve as a 1L Honor Board Justice. My overarching goal for attending Tulane is to deepen my understanding of Sport Law, with the ultimate aspiration of becoming a Sports Agent.
