PERSONAL
I’m an active, newly arrived, European (soon-to-be-American) who enjoys the outdoors. All my life, I’ve been passionate about seeing the world from different perspectives, learning about new places and people, and engaging them in open- mindedness. I’ve been fortunate to travel and experience many varying cultures and viewpoints. I consider myself to be a very positive person and am always excited to learn new things and to help others achieve their goals and passions, as I’ve had people help me along my way. I am always trying to be and bring the best of me wherever I go, to whatever task I set to. I pride myself on my tenacious work ethic and take pride in professional accomplishments.
