Introducing myself and my journal: Voices from the Fields

About Me:
I was born in Oregon, and raised there and throughout Asia. I moved back to the US for university, and after obtaining an MS in Latin American Studies and living in California for a stint, I transferred to Guatemala to work as a Food Security Facilitator with the US Peace Corps. I currently work with schools and groups of women, supporting small-scale food production and good nutrition. I would like to further my studies in agriculture, and eventually work in agricultural disaster relief. I'm excited to join the World Pulse community online so that the women I work with can connect with women all over the world!

My Passions:
Food, nature, languages, sports, reading, writing

My Challenges:
How to help agricultural communities recover from the effects of natural disasters

My Vision for the Future:
Unity

My Areas of Expertise:
Latin America, Food security
