I’m an ordinary US gal who’s lived in NYC, SF, LA and Seattle. I’m curious by nature and have a bit of wanderlust. I work with international companies and have made such great acquaintances across many countries as a result of my employment.

This man is a monster. He seeks out women survivors because he hates them. And he hates them because he hates himself. He has harassed me and other women survivors many times over the years. It must end. He should never have a job anywhere.
