Tessa Ehrman has joined the department as the new part-time Office Assistant following an extensive time in retail management, where she also modeled products, managed social media, and designed graphics for small businesses all over the Greater Houston area.

Outside of Rice, Tessa has directed and wrote 12+ short films and is always looking for new hobbies to explore. Her current obsessions are: watching horror movies and rewatching Twin Peaks for the 100th time, cooking new recipes, her latest being mille-feuille nabe, teaching herself digital art, and thrifting for wacky and colorful goodies.
