I grew up in the suburbs of Minneapolis and was very involved in the performing arts. As much as I enjoyed being on stage, I also loved being the person behind the scenes making the show possible. I completed my bachelors degree at the University of St. Thomas where I graduated magna cum laude with a degree in international business and political science. To help support myself while studying, I worked as a wedding consultant in a men's formalwear store helping make people's dream weddings a reality. In 2018 I moved to Tianjin, China to teach English as a second language. I loved the opportunity to work with children and help them develop a passion for learning. I led a project across the city developing extracurricular lessons that put English education in context of different themes - helping develop students' creativity and curiosity. I moved to Geneva in 2022 to pursue my master's degree in international and development studies from the Geneva Graduate Institute, with a concentration in conflict, peace, and security.
