  • 15 juli 2025

Internationally seasoned and relentlessly curious, I’ve spent two decades weaving together customer relations, education, recruitment, and performance to engage diverse audiences, from Seoul, Korea to St. Thomas USVI. Whether launching scholarship pipelines, coaching job-seeking professionals across time zones, or guiding students through transformative learning journeys, I thrive where culture and strategy meet. I’m now seeking a role in education, recruitment, or talent development where I can bring my international lens and creative communication to drive connection, performance, & measurable growth as a Development Specialist.
