Born and raised in Central Ohio, I spent my 20's living in Tokyo. My undergraduate degree in Strategic Communications and Anthropology led me to pursue a Master's degree across the world. My master's research focused on the use of YouTube by travelers and how those videos informed their knowledge of the location they were traveling to.
The bulk of my professional experience has been in the Education sector, however I was working in the Administration side. For 3 years I led the daily operations for an international school of 650+ students. As part of that role I led project initiatives among staff, took ownership of large scale event planning and coordinating, and provided additional support to all levels of leadership.
In my spare time I am an avid cook, and have recently begun exploring recipes from India and Korea.
