Howdy! My name is Eden Kasprak, I am 25 years old and was born and raised in Austin, Texas. I am incredibly honoured to represent the Texas-Irish community as the 2023 Texas Rose.
As someone who keeps her Texas roots near and dear to her heart, I currently work at a country dance hall and a family-owned country western store.
My community means a lot to me, which I celebrate by volunteering with children as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) and walking dogs at the Austin Animal Center. With the work I do through my community, my professional goal in life is to become a clinical psychologist. I am a very empathetic and passionate person, which stems from my Irish roots.
My paternal ancestors hail from Kildare and my maternal ancestors emigrated from Dublin. Hooleys were very popular in all households and as kids we would perform skits and songs during family gatherings.
In my free time, I love to country dance, play Gaelic football, and try to find the best vegan spots in town.
I am excited for my journey through Ireland, making life-long friendships and meeting inspirational and motivated women!
