Viv grew up in Dallas, TX and now lives in Austin, TX. She has a brother who is only 16 months younger than her, and the two were best friends growing up. She graduated from the University of Texas at Austin while he graduated from UT Arlington, both following in their parents' footsteps. At home, she shares her space with two cats: Lewinsky, a 4-year-old chubby and silly orange tabby, and Blair, a newly turned 1-year-old mix who is perfect in her own way. Viv loves to read, paint, play guitar, and watch movies, and volunteers with a local non-profit animal rescue association where she helps kitties across Austin find their furever homes. Fun fact: she loves expressing her style and seasonal mood through the colors of her hair and enjoys experimenting with makeup. Viv's motivation for working in life insurance is deeply personal. She lost her father just two months before her senior prom and graduation, and because he was so young, he never thought to have a policy in place. The financial and emotional stress it placed on her family stayed with her, and she is passionate about making sure people understand the true value of life insurance and what it means for the people you love.
