About me

My family moved from Seattle to Luxembourg in 2012 as expats for my husband's job.  In December 2016 we moved to London for a second international assignment.  

Previously I worked in corporate marketing but now am enjoying being a full-time Mom to our three boys.  Our oldest son is in college in the USA and our two younger boys attend a British school in London.
