Meeting so many interesting people from all over the world and collaborating over our shared mission of global humanitarian collaboration.
A lot of my day is spent emailing and drafting colorful proposals, but I also frequently get to take meetings (virtual) and pitch to potential stakeholders.
I studied for 5 years - 3 years in Montreal, CAN for a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Development Studies and 2 years in NYC, USA for a Master of Arts degree in Comparative and International Education. I held many summer internships and varied jobs while in school that led me to work in ed tech.
Learning and sharing my knowledge and traveling; I am passionate about educating others but also feeling challenged and continuing to learn new skills myself! I expect to continue living in new places every few years, as long as I can afford it. :)
I like trying out new/interesting restaurants, hanging out with friends, running, and boxing. :)
