She enjoys being active, including tennis, and is in the throes of planning her wedding that will take place next year!
Micah made his first EWB trip to Tanzania in August 2022. He served as a Health and Safety Officer and primary photographer while abroad. He enjoys storytelling and uses his field experiences to raise awareness and project capital for EWB Greater Austin.
