And, in addition to Spanish and Chinese, she studied information science at the UT Library School.  Other UT work experience includes being Head of the Interlibrary Loan unit at the Perry-Castañeda Library and providing administrative support at UT Purchasing and at the Frank Erwin Center. 

Her non-UT experience has included supervising the reconciliation unit of the Internal Revenue Service balancing checks & returns totaling an average of $4 million per night, and being a licensed massage therapist/instructor and the administrative director of a state-approved training school for licensed Swedish massage.  At the massage school, Low had a private practice, taught the full state curriculum, and designed & taught short-courses for CEU's (e.g. craniosacral system therapy, reiki, aromatherapy, reflexology, trance work).
