About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To become the best person that I can be!

ABOUT ME

I finished my Masters in European Studies at Flensburg Univeristy in 2013 . I lived in Germany for 6.5 years and lived in Denmark for 4.5 years. I was in Europe for the time in the summer of 2007 in Denmark and I realized that I wanted to see more! I studied abroad two times to Luneburg, Germany from Jan. 2008-June 2008 and I came back to Luneburg June 2009. I was in Au Pair in the summer of 2010 and lived in Flensburg from September 2010 to May 2015. I now in Aarhus, Denmark since then. and I had to re-invent myself and was in the sales, start-up tech industry for 4.5 years as my PhD in Germany did not work out. I am now on a mission to help internationals with their job search because of my practical experience (you are welcome to check out my Linkedin profile. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jobconsultant4internationals/

I love Europe and I can never see myself going back to America for many reasons. This is up for discussion over a cup of tea. ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Don't let anyone or anything define you.
