I'm from Chicago but am currently living in Medellin, Colombia working remotely for Eder Financial, a non-profit financial company serving other non-profits and religious organizations.

I was a police officer for about 5 years after college. After some time I realized it was not what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, so I left the force and switched to private sector work.

Even though I left my job as a police office I still want to use my career to help people. I'm excited by the ideas and work of the EA community and am excited to contribute.

I'm looking for opportunities to work for EA organizations in strategy and operations roles.

Switching from police work to private sector work was a big change, and I've spent a lot of time figuring out and articulating how many of my experiences on the police force translated well to private sector work.

I'd be happy to talk with anyone who's made a similarly drastic career change and help think through and articulate the value of your past experience.

Also happy to give any travel advice to anyone planning a visit to Colombia! (P.S. I highly recommend it)
