Profile Information
- About me:
- I'm currently finishing my thesis for a MS degree in International Development Studies. My volunteer experience with CARE Corps / CCS back in 2001 was the first of many travel and cross-cultural learning experiences. I have since studied in Costa Rica and the Netherlands and lived and worked in Poland, South Africa and Tanzania. My most recent work was research carried out with smallholder farmers in northern and central Tanzania for my thesis. I still look back fondly and appreciatively of the learning experience from that first small stint volunteering internationally in Ayacucho, Peru - it was the first stepping stone on my career path.
