I earned a degree in Business French and first lived in France during a study abroad semester in Paris in 2006. After returning to the U.S., I spent over a decade in corporate roles focused on data operations, systems, and technical project management, building a career that was both demanding and formative.

In 2021, my family and I relocated to Bordeaux with two young children and two dogs, in the middle of the pandemic, having sold most of what we owned to make the move possible. What began years earlier as an idea gradually became a plan, and then a reality.

That same discipline I relied on to make this transition now shapes both my personal and professional work. I’m committed to building a life and a body of work rooted in this region for the long term.
