What is your "why"? Why do you do what you do?
Mental health is just as important as physical health
About me
I was born and raised in Austin and have lived in the area the majority of my life. I started working for non-profits straight out of college and love that I get to help people every day.

I have three cats. I'm a twin, my husband is a twin, and my twin brother's long time girlfriend is a twin. And I'm colorblind, which is very rare in women.

Hobbies and interest
I enjoy entertaining with board games, group video games, and charcuterie boards. I enjoy crafting, small home projects. If I'm not entertaining or working on a project you can find me on the couch watching true crimes or on my back porch reading a book. I also workout with my husband 5 days a week.

Do you believe mental health is just as important as physical health? Do you want to promote a workplace that prioritizes mental health in employees? Do you know how to identify the warning signs of suicide and do you know what to do to help someone thinking about suicide?
