Austen is honored to return to the sidelines for her third year as a New Orleans Saintsation.
At age 12, her dance company was the source of entertainment on a cruise ship which planted the seed for Austen's thriving performance career. She was a member of the dance team at Franklinton High, where she graduated in 2015.
Soon after high school, Austen followed her passion for the beauty industry in 2016 and graduated from Aveda Institute for Cosmetology in 2017. While at Aveda, she was the model for their team who was titled global runner up for the Edwin Neil Full Potential contest.
Austen is now a successful stylist at a well-known salon—recipient of the "Northshore's Best" award for two consecutive years. For Austen, Saintsations not only allows her to showcase her love for dance, but presents her with opportunities to personally embody everything that a Saintsation should represent, both on and off the field.
