I came to Budapest from the United States via the Balassi Bálint Program after graduating high school in New Jersey. From there, I completed my bachelors degree at McDaniel College here in Budapest as well. While I had many part-time jobs as translator, copywriter and english teacher, I ended up in a marketing role at a startup in Poland. After living in Krakow for nearly two years I decided to move back to Budapest to utilize my skills in marketing and project management at MCC's Youth Research Institute. My personal and academic interests include family policy, demographics, diaspora activities, and the youth in general. In my free time I am an avid folk singing practitioner.
