Hobbies
I love to travel and learn different languages. In 2008, I moved to Switzerland to earn my undergraduate degree, which was the best decision I ever made! Cross-cultural living gave me unique skills and an amazing opportunity to meet and speak to people all over the world. After earning my degree, I moved to Philadelphia and worked at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia helping to research ways we can help sick children feel better. Now, I am working towards a PhD in Psychology to help children in the schools. In my free time, I LOVE to travel, read, write, practice different languages, and spend time with family. I have a niece who just turned one and my brother loves when I babysit, so he and my sister-in-law can get a few hours of snooze time!
