About – The Jazzy Nation

I'M AN EXPAT, CREATOR,

WIFE,
& SO MUCH
MORE!

Here’s the thing…

x I did not always know who I was and what my purpose was supposed to be!

x After I graduated from college, I was sure I was going to pursue a life of education that would lead me down a medical path.

x The first real job I had after college was with an amazing non-profit organization that gave me the space to be myself, explore my talents and work on The Jazzy Nation.

x The work I was doing was challenging at times but it made me resilient for the next phase of my life as a working professional and expat traveling the world!

HERE ARE SOME THINGS I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ME:

In 2016, I married the love of my life and we moved to Morocco with the Foreign Service.

I had a rough time adjusting…

So, I taught English in Morocco while pouring into The Jazzy Nation to help me cope with homesickness and communicate with friends and family.

In 2018, I moved to India because my husband got a new job.

My adjustment to my new country was easier this time around.

I traveled around India and other countries in the region during my first year in India. I visited Singapore, Malaysia, Bangkok, just to name a few.

Then the world shifted…

In 2020, the global pandemic hit and I remained in India for the work I did with the American Embassy to support American expats.

Then, I lived back in the United States for about a year in 2021. I explored my home country and visited family.

I recently moved to Ecuador and I am excited to get to know my new adoptive country and share my journey with you!

✨ Embracing Change: My Expat Journey In India ✨

The transition to life in India wasn’t easy. However, I’ve come to understand that it wasn’t specific to India or being an expat. It was about my adaptability at the start of my journey. Now, after over 6 years of living as an expat, I’ve gained valuable insights.

✨ Here’s what I’ve learned: Every country transition comes with its own adjustment period. It’s a time for growth and self-reflection, where I’ve learned to be kinder to myself and embrace the process of adapting to a new culture.

✨Giving myself grace has been crucial during this journey. It’s okay if it takes time to fully adjust—it’s all part of the process.

✨ Join me as I share more about my expat experiences and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. Let’s celebrate the beauty of embracing change and finding our place in the world.
