Ms. Ordoyne was born in Thibodaux, Louisiana, but grew up in Cypress, Texas. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Government and History from the University of Texas at Austin. Throughout college, Ms. Ordoyne worked at the Capitol under a Texas House representative working on research and policy. She decided to stay in Austin after college because of her love for the outdoors. In her free time she is always traveling around Austin trying out different hiking trails with her chiweenie, Petunia. If she’s not on a trail, you can find her thrift shopping or running.
