Impact Austin has been transformational for my life and career. It informed my passion for social impact. Today I get to share that passion with my students as the Director of the Social Innovation Initiative at UT.

Since relocating to Austin in January 2023, I have maintained a passion for making an impact. I joined Impact Austin because I support its mission and want to connect with accomplished female leaders in the community.

I joined Impact Austin to be a part of something greater than myself.
I wanted to join women who were making a difference and having an impact in the community.
