Get to know me in three:

My home away from home:
My home away from home would be in Belgium, where I’m originally from. I moved to the US about 9 years ago and all my family is still in Belgium. I have made my new home in Atlanta, but will always feel my home is still with my family in Belgium as well.

The values that influence me:
Honesty, compassion, open-mindedness

My diversity story:
I was born and raised in Belgium, but had the opportunity as a student to study abroad, in the US and in Spain. This opened up different perspectives to me and led me to eventually take on a work opportunity in the US. Moving here on my own, I ended up connecting with many people of different nationalities who had similar stories as myself, deciding to take on life in a different country. One of those people became my husband, who is from the Philippines, which introduced me to a whole new family and culture that I love.
