I'm the mother of three girls, Lucy, 23, Clara, 19, and Rachel, 15. I grew up
in Australia and came to Austin in 1984 to go to graduate school at UT, where I
met my husband, Will Pickens, who's from Texas. We've been married for 34 years. He's a licensed landscape architect.
I'm a Chartered Financial Analyst and I worked for twelve years before my first
child was born. I had a wonderful job that took me to many amazing places
in the world. I have an undergraduate degree in Geology from the
University of Western Australia and a Masters in Energy and Mineral Resources
from UT.
I love to garden and to prepare our meals from fresh, locally grown food. I
also love wool and yarn, and all forms of handwork. And I love to sing,
with children and in a circle of friends.
