While at Duke I played varsity lacrosse, spent a lot of time in the art studio, and built great, lasting friendships. After majoring in Visual Art and minoring in Women's Studies, I moved to Houston. I spent nine months with The Inn at Dos Brisas, a Mobil 5-star and Relais & Chateaux recognized restaurant and hotel. I am currently employed by the Houston Grand Opera as a Special Events Intern. In my spare time, I have been involved with the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The HLSR is responsible for nearly $3 million in scholarships annually, for everything from raising rabbits to painting. I serve as a committeeman on the School Art Committee which judges local art in elementary through high school.
