Auburn attorney John Torres recently completed a six-week stint as a guest lecturer at the University of Southern Queensland in Springfield, Australia.

“It was too unique an opportunity to pass on,” Torres said when offered the position to teach business strategy.

Between classes Torres gave opening comments at the Legal Studies Conference to nearly 400 students and attended the Ipswich Bar Association Annual Conference.

It wasn’t all work, though. Torres and fellow Auburn resident Arleen Chavez visited the largest koala sanctuary in the world, Lone Pine, and snorkeled and scuba dived the Great Barrier Reef.

While Australia was amazing, Torres is excited to return home.

“My law firm staff, Rianna McMahan and Linda Ramirez, really made this possible,” Torres said. “My clients were exceptionally understanding, too.”
