My name is Cheryl Spelts and I’m currently a student in a Masters of Business, Law, and Technology program.
In 2013 I earned a certificate in Paralegal Studies from the University of California, Los Angeles.
In 2017 I earned my Juris Doctorate from Trinity Law School, and then in 2023 I earned a masters degree in Alternative Dispute Resolution, also at Trinity Law School.
I am currently enrolled in an online Masters of Business, Law, and Technology program at The Colleges of Law, in Santa Barbara, California.
I’ve worked as a legal clerk, a photographer, and a web developer.

In 2020 I moved to Bisbee, Arizona, an historic old mining town, with a downtown area that feels like you’re stepping back in time.
I moved to Arizona, specifically Cochise County, to build an adobe house, of my own design, with bricks I make myself. If you’ve ever wanted to build a house using alternative methods, while opting out of inspections, and paying less for the permitting process, Cochise County might be the place for you too!
