Education:  BS Nutrition, Coordinated Program in Dietetics, The University of Texas at Austin, 2011

Fun Facts: I love listening to music and singing really loudly when I'm by myself!  I finally took a couple of voice lessons recently, but I don't do my practice exercises as often as I could..  I love going hiking by myself or with friends.  I've also experienced having a difficult relationship to food/body, along with chronic health issues related to digestion, and love talking with people about these struggles whenever possible!  

Favorite Things to do in Austin: Hang out at Bull Creek Greenbelt, play disc golf, explore any other trail/state park around here!
