Vicky is currently balancing a career in marketing and communications at Rice University with the wild world of parenting (nearly) three funny teenagers. After a decade-long chapter as a stay-at-home parent to raise her babies, she entered a season of life with a renewed focus on cultivating community, personal growth, and balance. Her “off-the-clock” passions include a dedication to Reformer Pilates, tending to her gardening boxes, and traveling the world with her family. She looks forward to her annual vacations to Hawaii with her most handsome husband, likes to plan epic live concert trips, and tries to keep a good mystery novel on hand at all times. She lived in Miami, Boston, New York, and Beijing before moving to Houston 15 years ago so she’s made a lot of memories and good friends over the years–one of life’s greatest gifts. Along with dark chocolate.
