I am a development professional currently living in Berlin but open to career opportunities globally.
Originally from Canada, I studied Political Science and International Relations at the University of British Columbia, and hold a diploma in Journalism. I have worked in Afghanistan, Cambodia, South Africa, Germany, and Canada, as well as volunteered in Bolivia and Ecuador.
