She previously founded an organization, called Born Again Bodies, which received a 2016 “Humanitarian of the Year” recognition by recommendation from the City of Austin Health and Human Services Commission at the Urban Health Expo for providing low and discounted health and exercise programs to underserved youth, adults, and seniors in the Austin area.
