I have served in the United States Peace Corps in Gulu, Uganda. I finished my service 5 years ago and now I am making my way back to visit my host family. Before then I am making a stop in Ireland and the UK to check out some grad schools I may attend in the fall. I'm definitely looking to make long term friends

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed Mount Nyiragongo in the DR Congo. This was epic! Seeing lava erupt from the depths of the earth in real life is a very special experience.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my perspective on life. It may be different from yours. Hopefully we can connect and have deep meaningful conversations and learn from each other. Let's talk about life, philosophy, experiences, hopes, dreams, everything. People say I'm enjoyable to be around. I'm helpful, respectful and considerate. During my Peace Corps service I enjoyed building mutual understanding between myself and people of different cultures. This lead me to even appreciate and understand the differences between people within my own tribe. I'm a good listener which is why I think I would be good psychologist.
