About Me:
I enjoy reading, painting, and spending time outdoors in my free time! I also like going on runs because they feel very therapeutic for me. My favorite part about HOSA is how tight knit our community is and how much it feels like a family at all our events and meetings. I haven't been to many restaurants in Austin so I wouldn't say I have a favorite yet, but I am an avid Taco Bell goer!

About Me:
Hello HOSA! Outside of school I really enjoy rock climbing and have recently gotten into rowing as well! On the less physical side, I love to read and am always looking for new book recommendations :) My favorite part of HOSA is definitely competition season; this past year’s state competition was so fun and I loved being able to travel off campus with my team for competition. In terms of food recommendations near campus, I would definitely recommend Madam Mam’s!
