I am a creative, collaborative, inclusive, marketing and communications professional.
I am originally from the US although I have lived abroad for over five years throughout Latin America and China. I have always loved connecting with people of different backgrounds ever since I was young and my family hosted exchange students from all over the world.

I have since worked at several startups and love the energy and innovation that happens within startup communities. My professional strengths are in content writing, translation, cross-cultural marketing/communication, and international business development.

Meu ânimo estava baixo depois de ser despedida do trabalho e eu estava me sentindo frustrada e desanimada pelo clima político em meu país.
I have always had a passion for writing. Ever since I got my first journal at the age of five and my sister and I would copy poems and phrases we saw in books without even knowing their meanings.

En su viaje por Argentina, Marie Tornquist encontró en la Ciudad de La Plata una escuela dedicada a incentivar en sus alumnos la formulación de preguntas como vínculo directo en la solución propia de hipótesis. En Eureka no hay clases obligatorias, no se enfatiza en los resultados sino en los procesos.
Marie visitó una de las Escuelas Libres de Chile durante su breve paso por Santiago. En el día 7 de septiembre, 2013, tuve la oportunidad de visitar la Escuela Libre "Futuro En Camino" en Santiago de Chile. Entré en contacto con la gente de la escuela por su página de Facebook.
