I have lived and worked in southernmost tip of Patagonia, collaborated with community leaders in remote Guatemalan mountain villages and taught English to over 40 students in Santiago, Chile. I am an optimist by default and proactively lead with empathy.
Raised $3,000 to purchase 220 reusable menstrual kits, including reusable pads, from a Days for Girls in Guatemala. I partnered with the local Guatemalan team and hand delivered all of the kits to three Guatemalan mountain villages. There we provided guidance and education on menstrual and reproductive health.
I taught English to students from ages 5 to 65. I wrote every lesson plan with two goals in mind. Rule number one, have fun. Number two, build my student's confidence to speak a foreign language. Teaching is a true passion of mine that I will use for the rest of my life.
I lived on a remote farm outside the Chilean National Park, Torres Del Paine. I shared my passion for the outdoors while leading mountaineering tours through the park. I taught visitors about the plants, wildlife and cultural history of the region.
