I was raised in
the small Bavarian-themed town of Leavenworth,
Washington. There, I grew up
with my two brothers playing many sports and doing outdoor
activities. My father is a
Lutheran pastor, and my mother is a nurse. My first interest in reaching out to
other cultures came in 8th grade when I started learning
Spanish in order to communicate with the Mexican kids in my classes who
did not speak much English.
After high school, I studied Civil Engineering at Tulane University and minored in
Spanish. I spent my entire
junior year of undergraduate school studying engineering at the University of Costa Rica. After graduating from Tulane, I
worked in Washington State for a year with a small structural
engineering firm before pursuing my Master’s degree at the University of Texas
at Austin
in Structural Engineering. I
graduated in May 2005 and worked with the same firm in Washington for
the past few months before joining eMi in January. Latin America has always held a
special place in my heart, and I am very glad to be serving with eMi
from the Guatemala
office.
