CURRENT MISSION

To land a job that allows me to travel.

ABOUT ME

I just completed my master's degree in global health at Washington University and am in the process of job hunting and attempting to start my career post-grad.

I'm moving to New York City in August to live with my partner and chase the dream of working with an organization working in the international development field. I have a longstanding interest in working internationally, so NYC will ideally provide a launching point for that goal.

I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. To date, I've lived in Thailand, Cambodia, and the US and have worked with various NGOs, nonprofits, and universities.

On a more personal level, since living in SE Asia, I've had a huge interest in Buddhism. I've also been studying Thai and Spanish for the past few years.

Feel free to ask anything else!

PHILOSOPHY

Be nice to people.
