I recently graduated from Ithaca College and am about to begin my Peace Corps training and service as a Small Enterprise Development volunteer in Ghana! I am going to be a Business Advisor working with Ecotourism (hopefully), which is great for me because I obtained my degree in Organizational Communication, Learning and Design (now CMD) and studied Environmental Studies and some Ecotourism while in school at Ithaca College and through a School for International Training program in Australia.
I have wanted to join the Peace Corps since I was in high school and always dreamed of being the type of person that could be accepting, flexible, and determined enough to handle Peace Corps service. Well, here I go – we’ll see how I do. I joined the Peace Corps for various reasons, two of the most important being: to help those who are in need of and want help, and to take advantage of an opportunity to live in a different culture and see the world from another perspective. On top of that are bonuses like traveling around the area that I will be stationed in, breaking stereotypes about Americans, and meeting other people who have the same ideals and interests as me.
Please feel free to write to me because I would love to hear from those that I know and love and also new friends visiting my blog!
