I am a young professional who works in the food industry guaranteeing a more transparent and responsible supply chain that empowers the workers at the origin to live their best lives. ‘16-‘17 school year, I worked as a teacher in France and spent my off time exploring the amazing history, culture and people of Europe. I love running, hiking and exploring. I am a veggie and some friends say I eat like a rabbit.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Hitchhiked/negotiated a ride down a mountain with a construction worker in Taiwan. The funniest part was he thought I spoke mandarin, so when he went to talk to me and I shook my head he died of laughter, luckily that translates ;)
Teach, Learn, Share
We can talk in english or french if you are looking to practice these languages! Я хочу говорить лучше по-русский. I love to run and would love to discover your city while running, so if that is your thing, let's lace up! I love to learn about cultures and new languages. I look forward to learning from you :)
