I have two bachelor's degrees from UT Austin, and I'm working on a master's degree in computer science at Texas State as well as an associate's degree in psychology from Austin Community College. Much of my free time is spent volunteering for several local nonprofit organizations, one of which I help to run as a member of its board of directors. Otherwise, I try to find ways to practice my other passion, narrative filmmaking. I dream of starting my own businesses and nonprofit organizations, and I also dabble in photography on both sides of the camera. I'm not a party/bar/club person; nothing beats dinner and a quality conversation in my book. I make an effort to put other people before myself and to be as thoughtful, open, and generous as possible to my friends. Doing so brings me the greatest joy and satisfaction in life.

I legally do not have a last name.
