About
I grew up in Kansas City, Missouri, raised by two hardworking parents who reluctantly let me study abroad in Germany when I was 17. After graduating high school I moved to Seattle and worked in cafes until I could afford college.
In college I won scholarships that enabled me to develop strong passions for art, digital design, research, and writing. I also studied in Italy, interned in Holland, and conducted fieldwork in Uganda.
Less than a month after graduating college I moved to Switzerland where I lived for ten years, working for Novartis, EF Education First, and Credit Suisse.
During the pandemic, I started writing a novel alongside my full-time job, which Iām working on getting published. Iām also moving to Amsterdam to work in Fintech as a senior UX researcher.
