- I grew up in El Paso, TX and loved driving through the American Southwest on every road trip to the Texas Mainland.
- In high school I ran the 110m and 300m hurdles, they were my first passion and taught me about discipline and improvement through consistency.
- Every summer I attend a family summer camp outside of Alpine, TX (near big bend) where 25 of us cram into a cabin my family built by hand; there is no cell phone service, limited utilities, and beautiful views of the night stars.
- For the past 25 years my family has made gingerbread houses at Christmas, and I firmly believe this is what got me interested in the construction and creativity of architecture.
- I fell in love with Megacities in college when I was able to study broad in Seoul, South Korea and now I have the goal of visiting the largest cities in the world with rich cultural history.
- One of my favorite physical activities is rock climbing, I thrive on the immediate satisfaction of working to finish a route!
- I love playing Volleyball and am an active member of one of the largest volleyball associations: DIVA (Dallas Independent Volleyball Association).
- Quarantine allowed me to dive deeper into cooking and got me interested in making fresh pasta and homemade ravioli along with perfecting my red and white sauces; ask about the secret ingredient!
- In my spare time I make furniture and life size props for stage productions.
- My husband and I love to eat, whether that’s 100 pieces of sushi or 100 oysters.
