Get to know our newest MPA Career Consultant Assistant!
- What are some of the things you like to do in Austin?
- My favorite thing to do in Austin is to explore the city by running around downtown, eating at new restaurants, and attending local events.
- What is your favorite junk food?
- I love Tiff’s Treats! I would eat them every day if I could.
- Do you have any pets?
- I have three pets at home, two cats named Butch and Sundance (after Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) and a dog named Rosalita.
- What’s your favorite charity?
- My favorite charity is the LiveSTRONG Foundation, and I am actively involved in Team LiveSTRONG because I truly believe in the programs they provide to those affected by cancer and their effective way of spreading cancer awareness.
- If you weren’t working right now, what would you be doing?
- I would be outside! I love being outside, and there’s no better way to celebrate the great outdoors than walking, running, or playing a sport.
- Who is your favorite hero of fiction?
- I would have to say Hermoine Granger from the Harry Potter series. Without her planning and infinite knowledge of magic, Harry would have never made it to Book 7.
- If you won the lottery, what would you buy first?
- I would buy my own island in Dubai. How cool would it be to say you have your own island? Plus, it would give me an excuse to finally go to Dubai and discover the many wonders the city beholds.
