ABOUT ME

Recently Returned Peace Corps Volunteer from Sierra Leone. Prior to that, I worked in Finance for General Electric. I'm practical and responsible, but also adventurous and willing to challenge convention to find fulfillment in my life. My Sierra Leonean host family aptly named me Mahbeh, which allegedly means "to observe before acting," and they were right on. I tend to be reserved until I know my audience and surroundings (or have a few drinks). The upside is that I haven't found many places where I don't feel at home or people with whom I can't get along. Also, I think too much. And I like water. A lot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There's so much to be in awe of, but here are a few favorites in no particular order:
- Lava rock formations on Maui
- All of Gaudi's structures in Barcelona
- Whitewater rafting in Costa Rica
- My 5 beautiful nephews
- The 60 seconds right after I would assign a practice problem to my Sierra Leonean students, and they would all be attempting to solve it on their own
