After completing my Germanic Studies minor at UVic, I applied to and was accepted by the PAD for a year-long teaching assistantship position in Göttingen. For me, this was my chance to finally spend time living in Germany after finishing my Bachelor of Music degree. When my teaching contract was finished, I immediately relocated to Berlin to begin a new junior management position with a travel company that provides small-group, academic walking seminars to travelers in more than 35 cities around the world. I am now Central Europe Program Manager for this company and spend my days overseeing operations and staff in five (soon to be six) countries.
Over the past year in Berlin, I have also worked as an editor and translator for a bilingual online publication and have contributed to other local publications, both online and print, as a writer.
