She is a five year resident of Los Angeles during which time she has had experience in business and philanthropic arenas. While at Baylor, she interned for such companies as Miramax, NewLine Cinema and Dimension Films.

This conviction recently took her to Kibera, the largest slum in Kenya and the African continent by many accounts, in order to care for and learn about the lives of those living with AIDS.
