Hello! My name is Katie, and I am originally from Chicago, IL, but I now live in Vancouver, Canada.. I work as a project manager in finance - impact investing!

What motivates me in life is traveling to new places and connecting with people. What brings me happiness is getting out of my comfort zone, exploring, and witnessing the natural beauty of the Earth and the universal kindness of strangers. I love to meet new people and discover new ways of living and loving life.

I am an artist, and I mostly do photography, but I also enjoy painting, drawing, sculpting, and several other art forms. I have a masters degree in business, and I have a lot of experience managing social media - here is my portfolio: http://katieiacobellis.com/brand-marketing
