Q+A

Why did you choose this career?

When I was in 7th grade, I took a Tech Ed class where we built newspaper bridges. That was the spark I needed to know I wanted to build things for the rest of my life.

What do you do in your spare time? Do you have any interesting hobbies?

My husband and I love trying new places to eat in Austin. Other than that we are homebodies that spend time hanging out with our kids, watching our favorite sports teams (Go Birds!), catching up on shows, and playing video games.

Where is your favorite place in the world?

I love the beach. As long as there is sand, the ocean, and my family, I'm happy!

What was your first job?

Way back in high school my first job was as a lifeguard! This included teaching swim lessons which was always a fun part of the job.
