Mary Margaret Harris

Personal story

I grew up in Louisiana surrounded by my extended family, Cajun food, and the occasional alligator. Throughout my early years, I looked up to my father as he charted a path from humble beginnings to the executive table – all the while battling PTSD from serving in the military. He taught me the value of withholding judgement and creating a safe space for others, which are values I carry with me today. I now live in Austin, Texas, with my husband, two spirited preschoolers, and an Australian Labradoodle puppy.
