In January of 2017 I relocated to the Netherlands, fulfilling a long-standing desire to step out of my comfort zone and be part of a more international conversation. Making this move has been deeply satisfying, and I am searching for a career that will offer me both flexibility and purpose. I began my professional life as an TEFL/TESL instructor, teaching English to adult professionals in Turkey. After returning home, I began to undertake a number of extensive freelance English langue editing or proofreading projects as well, drawing on English expertise. Most recently, I worked with Willis Towers Watson as a Benefits Representative in their customer service department. In this role, I responded to client inquiries by phone and email, addressing their concerns regarding complex medical benefits offered through their employers. This position with Willis Towers Watson helped me develop into a kinder, more confident, and more articulate professional, and I value my time there highly.
