My path to founding and operating a baking business has been far from direct. Just like the recipes that inspire Boomerang Bites, I am a transplant from Australia. Trained as a civil engineer, I arrived in the US in my 20s to pursue graduate study and built a career at the World Bank, spending much of the last twenty years traveling to remote corners of the globe providing advice, and more recently teaching graduate students - on how to deliver essential services (water, sanitation, electricity, roads, public transport) to underdeveloped communities in low-income countries.

Member Spotlight: Kyla Mitsunaga

I loved that job: getting to work WITH bright young minds, getting to be in the classroom to teach and learn from them, and the incredible paid time off I had to travel the globe during winter and summer vacations. 4 years into my job as a professor, I got an unexpected invitation to speak in Austria.
