Sandra Løvstad earned her Bachelor of Science in Financial Management from the University of Connecticut and her Master of Science in Global Finance from Fordham University in New York. Sandra quickly became enamored with Hutto's unique Hippo mythology. She enjoys capturing photos of the various Hippo statues throughout the community and even got her own Hippo statue at the local annual Olde Tyme Days fair.
In early 2024, Sandra embarked on her next business venture, founding Hippo Vending. With a mission to provide quality vending solutions, she aims to serve Hutto, Taylor, Round Rock, Georgetown, Austin, and surrounding areas. Hippo Vending offers free vending machines to businesses and provides ongoing restocking servicing as well. You can view Sandra's professional profile on LinkedIn:
