I earned my bachelor degree in Business French, fell in love with France while studying abroad in Paris for six months in the spring of 2006, and promptly fell into the typical American corporate grind for thirteen years.
Now I’m achieving those dreams that seemed unattainable for a decade and setting even broader goals for myself and my family. We moved to Bordeaux in summer of 2021, towing a three-year-old and nine-month-old, as well as two dogs; in the middle of the pandemic to boot. We’d sold our car, our house, and 95% of our belongings.
It’s that drive I apply to my personal and professional life that allows me to successfully accomplish what I set out to do. Motivation can only get you so far, but discipline is what carries me forward.
I am here to stay.
