About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To host anyone who wants to visit rural Mali.

ABOUT ME

I am passionate about my work as a Peace Corps volunteer in rural Mali: I love the people in my village and hope to improve the education system there. I love travelling and learning about other cultures and their art, food, music, and dance. I love a good argument and I love to laugh.

Teach, Learn, Share
