Laurie Guthmann
Laurie lived in Paris before moving to New York. When she was 14, she spent a year as an exchange student at a Philadelphia high school. She went back to France and pursued a graduate degree in business and mathematics. While in business school, she studied abroad in New York City, Hong Kong, and Cape Town. She traveled throughout southern Africa for several months and used the opportunity to investigate people’s experiences during the cholera crisis that was sweeping through Zimbabwe and the former apartheid system in South Africa. She wrote freelance magazine articles covering international conflicts and politics. She’s involved in a non-profit organization that organizes month-long summer camping trips for children and teenagers. In her spare time, she enjoy painting, reading fiction, photography, and traveling.
