About

My name is Yael DeFaye. I was born in France and raised primarily there. I developed a global perspective through travel and extended stays in England and various countries across four continents. After adventures that took me from Austria to Hong Kong in my early twenties, I settled in the San Luis Valley in 2006. Holding both French and American citizenship, I now cherish the tranquility and community of rural life after years spent in the bustling suburbs of Paris and London.My entire professional life has been dedicated to technology and information. A consistent thread throughout my career has been a passion for acquiring new knowledge and sharing it with others. My roles have been diverse, ranging from establishing an export division to serving as a project manager, system administrator, and now as part of a rural hospital's administrative team. This varied experience has exposed me to many facets of organizational operations and brought me into contact with a wide range of individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures.My family has grown and evolved, with my children now preparing to embark on their own life journeys. While it is incredibly rewarding to witness their independence, it is also tinged with apprehension. The world they are entering is vastly different from the one I grew up in. I hope they find supportive friendships as they navigate their paths and continue to develop into respectful, accountable individuals.
