Fun Facts: I love singing but mostly 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 enjoy going hiking by myself or with friends (I made it to the top of a 14er in 2022, but I'm not sure I'll be doing that again!). I'm perfectly happy sleeping in a tent or the back of a car, and I escape to the mountains whenever possible in the summer.
Favorite things to do in Austin: Anything outdoors! Taking a drive out near Lake Travis. UT volleyball and football games.
