PUTTING UP THE OOO...
Despite what I believed when I was younger, adults don't live under their desks or sleep at the office. Instead, we have outside activities that make the work we do stronger. Here are some of mine.
Coaching High School Soccer
In 2022, I started as the head coach for the JV2 soccer team at Ursuline Academy of Dallas. The team trains before and after work - and I truly believe the girls teach me just as much as I teach them.
Photography
Ever since the day I was introduced to Kodak film and disposable cameras, photography has had a place in my heart. I've worked alongside a wedding and advertising photographer, had my photos featured in a calendar, and dabbled in both film and digital printing. To me, pictures preserve memories and being able to relive the feelings in the captured moment is a special kind of magic.
