Before entering private practice, Ms. Rubio served with the Williamson County Attorney's Office, where she advanced to the role of trial prosecutor.

Her multilingual background allows her to serve a diverse client base throughout Austin, Williamson County, Travis County, and surrounding communities.
Ms. Rubio earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, cum laude, from the University of Maryland in 2014 and later earned a Master of Science in Biotechnology from Johns Hopkins University.
