CURRENT MISSION

To have a good balance in life that includes working hard, connecting with great people and lots of laughter

ABOUT ME

I have been fairly nomadic, due to my work and love of travel. I love meeting new people, telling stories and being active. I have worked in the field of global health for 9 years and really love living and working overseas.

PHILOSOPHY
