About Me: I was raised in 2 small towns in Oregon and am in love with the lush beauty of my state, but I love to travel and explore other places and cultures. I recently returned from doing the Peace Corps in Botswana, working with children who were orphaned by HIV/AIDS, and I'm trying to integrate what I learned there into my life in the US. I'm excited to see more of the world and to live life simply but to the fullest. My Passions: Travel, writing, hiking, anything in nature, reading, love, good conversation My Challenges: Patience, learning to deal with noise and chaos, resisting materialism and excess My Vision for the Future: I want to see greater understanding and cooperation among all different cultures so that we can all work to make peace and happiness the norm. My Areas of Expertise: NGO development, public health, community outreach, program design for youth
