Josephine Antoinette "Toni" Hilliard
I followed my dream of architecture by working for firms in New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, and Washington, DC.  It was in
DC that I met my husband, Edward Boyd, who was a federal
prosecutor.  Ed went on to become the U.S. Attorney for the
Eastern District of New York and later a NY state judge and I
went on to work on residences and commercial buildings on the
eastern end of Long Island.  Following our divorce, I decided to
make a career change and obtain a Master of Arts in Historic
Preservation from Goucher College.  With thesis research in
New Mexico, I came convinced to return to the Southwest
permanently.  Neal Genda and I have a home in Tucson.  I am
in a Ph.D. program at the University of Arizona — Arid Lands
with a legal studies minor.  My field of interest is Public Lands,
Land Use, and Natural Resources. I am formulating a different
approach to land development in exurban areas. I plan to
defend in 2011.  As of 29 September 2010 I am a Ph.D.
candidate.
