What’s kept you in St. Louis?
So I get this question a lot—especially when I tell people I moved back from California—but I think at the end of the day I am committed to the St. Louis region. I grew up here, going to St. Louis public schools through the desegregation program and ultimately graduating from Ladue Horton Watkins High School. I moved back to the area after graduating from the University of California, Santa Barbara, not really sure what I wanted to do once I realized I no longer wanted to go to law school. But I did know that I wanted to have an impact in a community that I cared about, and for me, having had the experience in the deseg program, I knew that that had to be in St. Louis.
