About me. I’m part of the DMHP program, the head of marketing for JSOM’s Women in Technology & Business, and treasurer for UTD’s Women Pursuing Law organization. I’m from Austin, TX, and have been attending classes remotely. I co-founded Orenda Change in July 2020. We’re a social impact focused clothing brand. And fun fact, I shoot archery. #MYUTD
