She has held multiple leadership roles within the International Interior Design Association, including Programs Chair, Advocacy Chair, and three-time Leaders Breakfast Chair. She has also chaired the AIA Committee on Architecture for Health, contributed for more than a decade to the Texas Association for Interior Designers, and currently serves on the board of Texas Women in Healthcare.
