[Q] What are you anticipating most for your new life in South Central Texas?
[A] I am really excited to get to know the students, campus, and community. I am especially excited about the culture in San Antonio. It reminds me of Boston, where I grew up: multicultural and big and vibrant with fascinating histories going back many hundreds of years. I—both of us, actually—can’t wait to dive in!
We really want to try progressive Mexican culinaria, at a place like Mixtli. I have not had a proper taco since I left Texas [in 2012] and want to fix that.
There are so many great museums in San Antonio too. I don’t even know where to start.
I even want to run the 5K on campus with our dog Albus.
Also, one of my biggest passions is community service. I work with the organization CASA—Court Appointed Special Advocates—and other non-profits. And I have really enjoyed supporting refugee families.
Basically, I want to engage with San Antonio in the same ways I’ve been involved in activities in the other cities where we’ve lived.
