She completed an internship with Sabre Corporation, a global software and technology company headquartered in Southlake, where she assisted in the Global Events Department with the coordination of international client events in Vietnam and Amsterdam. Her professional aspiration is to contribute to the Dallas community as a philanthropic event director.
