I am currently working in technology to help small businesses operate and expand in NYC. I am interested in International Development specifically looking at education and business development for women. Prior to returning to graduate school, I used to teach in Memphis, Tennessee as a Middle School History teacher.

Trying to learn as much as I can and living in the moment. Love going on new adventurous and soaking up as many life experiences as possible.
