So tell us, how did you get into trade and what keeps you passionate about this work?

So I, like Gabrielle, sought out this glamorous profession.

I think, you know, Gabrielle and I are a bit of anomalies because we do hear like most people just stumble upon trade compliance in their career paths.

However, after obtaining my degree in international relations, I realized I did not want to be like Gabrielle's grandfather and go the foreign service route.

So knowing that, I did some research.

But prior to that, I kind of took what some would call like a gap year.

And I worked abroad in the UK and Ireland just to get some of that international experience.

So tell us about PAEI, a little history of, you know, what are you guys about? Who do you serve? What makes PAEI so special?
