What do you love most about being part of Hightower Austin?
Being around such an uplifting and inspiring environment. Not only do we all work closely at the office, but it is so great to observe and contribute to the building of personal relationships with our clients that allows us better knowledge on how to serve them.

What qualities of yours makes you well suited for your role at Hightower Austin?

I am a very empathetic and lighthearted person to be around. I am passionate about any work I do and ensure that it is done in the best manner with efficiency and effectiveness. Such qualities include creating more structured processes, communicating well with others, and being multifaceted in any environment.

What hobbies or interests do you have outside of work?
I enjoy being outdoors as much as possible. I have always been a runner so I am always exploring new trails or parks to jog with my dog Leo, who is the apple of my eye. He not only loves exploring nature, but Leo is the happiest pup and the most amazing company. Is he my best friend? Absolutely.

If you had to choose another career what would you do and why?
I recently graduated with my Master’s in Health Administration. Working in a healthcare setting is very diverse and an everchanging environment so at a young age, it always appealed to me. I can definitely see myself choosing that career again because the ambition and passion healthcare workers have whether in clinical or administrative areas, is contagious. Although I felt the need to venture away from healthcare, doesn’t mean I have closed the door completely. Healthcare is such a broad profession and can be pursued in many ways, so who knows.

What’s one experience you wish you could do all over again?
I am always telling myself to live in the now, because now is all we have. I recently visited Europe for the first time in my life and explored the different countries surrounding Germany. My last little road trip during my travels was in Slovenia. We went to Triglav National Park and it was the most beautiful and surreal place I had ever seen. Every location whether in the towns or camping in nature was taken out of a fairytale. That trip was an experience I wish I could do all over again.

If you could live anywhere besides Austin, where would you live and why?
I am a mountain lover. I love anything that has to do with cold weather. Canada? Vermont? Colorado? All of those sound ideal, sign me up.
