Instead of going to graduate school, I lived abroad for five years.I've been a teacher, an addiction specialist, and a managing editor for a tech company in the years since I graduated from college. I've allowed my ethnographic impulse to carry me all over the world for several years, living in England, Brazil, and Japan. Most recently, I worked remotely while living in Argentina for ten months (2014-15). And after a one-year road trip around the US (2015-16), I settled into lovely Eugene, Oregon for its world-class hiking, gorgeous vineyards, and abundant waterfalls. In effect, volunteering and working abroad consolidated many of the lessons from my background in psychology and sociology, giving thought to both the academic and broader social contributions of such work. Every six months, I take stock of what I've written and update my LinkedIn profile. I like to highlight the pieces which make me the proudest. In 2018, we launched three new websites and continued work on "Women Breaking Barriers," an interview-based series I founded for OnlineEducation.com. In 2019 and 2020, we created three new sites, including two (HealthcareDegree.com and CounselingSchools.com) that I helped design, and I launched NursingColleges.com at the end of 2022.If I'm not writing for Sechel Ventures, I'm writing for my blog (Blore's Razor), trying to make the world a little brighter and better informed. I'm always open to opportunities tapping into my international experience, multilingual skills, comfort with public speaking, and writing abilities. My work has been picked up by countless universities, the Rand Corporation, National Geographic, Inc., Huffington Post, Yahoo Small Business, PC Magazine, Grammarly, Mother Nature Network, Living Green Magazine, Mashable, Daily Censored, Broke-Ass Stuart, Owl Magazine, and more.
