About me
I am a trained, clinical social worker from New York City. I have experience moving to different states in the US as well as moving to a different country so I can relate to the challenges of moving to new places. I grew up in Michigan and from there I moved to Philadelphia, PA for two years and then to NYC for almost 20 years. Currently I live in Berlin. Some of the things I like to do in my free time are spend time with my family, read, assemble puzzles, bike, run, and ski.
I speak:
English
Location:
Gormannstraße 14, 10119 Berlin, Germany
