Build, Connect, Grow

About me πŸ‘‹

I'm a self-taught web and app builder, that loves to connect with people. I foster a growth mindset by learning new things and challenging myself. People have described me as relentless, and although I prefer the term "driven", I'll admit I like to get **it done. πŸ“ˆ

I was born in the United States of America, raised in Europe and am currently working in Belgium as an Internal Auditor. Previously, I have held Legal & Compliance, Project Management and other roles in both public and private organizations across Europe and North America. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί πŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺ
