A little more about me …

I’m a Houston native and proud alumna of both Purdue University and Texas Tech University. As an avid basketball fan, I never miss a chance to cheer on the Boilermakers or Red Raiders—especially during basketball season. I also have a long-term goal of visiting every NBA arena (currently 5 out of 30!).

Outside of research, you’ll usually find me exploring new restaurants. I share my food finds around Texas on Instagram at @theresa.atx. I also love traveling—especially when it involves discovering local cuisine—and spending time with my cat, Pete.

Cat Tax: Here’s Pete when he was a kitten.
