Current Job/Future Plans:
I've been serving as a Community Health Education Peace Corps Volunteer (CHE PCV) in Banteay Meanchey, Cambodia since July, 2010. My current plans are to extend into a third year collaborating with health-related NGOs, partnering them with
PCVs in the field. When I finish (most likely in August, 2013), I plan on moving back to the States to work for a couple of years as either a Regional Recruiter (Seattle or San Francisco) or a Country Desk Officer (D.C.) for Peace Corps. After that, grad school in International Relations.
Fun Fact:
I speak Spanish and Khmer and am currently learning Vietnamese.
