About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Ready to kick some life.

ABOUT ME

I am currently living in beautiful Amsterdam for the next few years. I have 2 great flats if anyone needs a place to stay while traveling in Seattle or Amsterdam (as i kept my place in the states). I'm very outgoing, spontaneous, and fun loving! Friends and family are extremely important to me, and I have an enormous appreciation and love the people in my life.

As such, I'm a firm believer that it's not about the years in your life, but the life in your years. I am an expat working as the head of client services in continental Europe for a technology entity called cognizant (www.cognizant.com), I am also an entrepreneur and Co-Founder of Social Capital (wearesocialcapital.com). I am obsessed with travel - which I do a ton of for both work and play! I love making new friends and I am a furniture, art and antiques collector. So if you are here in Amsterdam, or need a place to stay in Seattle - hit me up!
