A native Austinite, Lily graduated from UT with a degree in Art History before beginning her career in the events industry. Prior to joining the team at the Bullock Museum in 2017, she gained experience over several years planning weddings and coordinating events. Today, she manages the Bullock Events Department and has turned her passion for creating memorable experiences towards helping clients create truly personal and unique celebrations.

Originally from Chicago, Lauren moved Texas in 2008. She quickly adapted to her life as a Texan, graduating from UT Austin with a degree in History in 2018. During and after college she worked in fine dining but felt the need to return to her original love, history! Lauren started work at the Bullock Museum at the ticket counter, and joined the Events team in 2019. An artist at heart, she enjoys the creative aspects of Events, from helping clients imagine how to transform their spaces, to making sure that exhibit opening parties have memorable desserts.

From Wisconsin, Rachel Miller is the newest member of the Bullock Events Team. While attending UW Madison, Rachel found her passion for events working for the University and the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art as an event organizer. After graduation, she made her move to Austin, Texas to happily join the team at the Bullock Museum. Rachel finds excitement in the creative process of building an experience from scratch that her clients and guests will love and remember.
