To start 2026, I’m honored to be featured on the cover of Preston Hollow People with a story that reflects on my journey so far including my return to SMU, the work I care about most, and the “why” behind it all. Growth doesn’t always follow a blueprint. Sometimes it means taking the path less traveled (or never before traveled), stepping into spaces where a precedent hasn’t been set, and being willing to build something new along the way. “If there isn’t a path, make one.” #MYOL
