I love to learn about the world and the different people and cultures that inhabit it! I have been a Peace Corps Volunteer in Sierra Leone for two years where I found a deep appreciation for the people and culture. Being inspired by my friends in Sierra Leone and having a passion for protecting the environment, I have been pursuing my interest in local agriculture, working on organic farms near my home. My educational background is in Engineering and I hope to use my skills to improve sustainable technologies, whether it be recycling, alternative energies, or simply minimalist living.
