About to start a commute to the Galleria area, anything I should know?

I (22F) recently got an internship near the Galleria area in one of the office buildings in that area. I’ve never worked up in Houston before and I’d like to ask if there’s anything I should know before I begin commuting up there. I live near Pasadena/ Clear Lake and the commute with no/mild traffic is about 30 minutes. Is the area generally pretty safe? The place I’m working for has a parking garage connected to the building so I don’t have to do any walking on the streets. I know to be aware of my surroundings, I carry a knife and pepper spray, and I never stay glued to my phone when I’m out and about. But please let me know if there’s anything I should particularly watch out for, and anything to note about traffic in that area in general. I’m sure some days of my commute will be bad. TIA!
